Back in training with Seattle
Brunell (not injury related) is back in training with the Sounders after the international break and should be an option for Saturday's game against New England on Saturday, according to Niko Moreno of Sounder at Heart.
Analysis: Brunell has started regularly for the Sounders and hadn't missed any game this season until the Oct. 2 match against Sporting KC, as he was on international duty with the USMNT U20 squad. The young midfielder will be in contention to feature this weekend, but as a holding midfielder who doesn't contribute much offensively, his return won't be significant from a fantasy perspective.
Unavailable against SKC
Brunell will miss his club's matchup against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday while he serves international duty, per the MLS Player Status Report.
Analysis: Brunell has played a role in central midfield lately, making his absence a relevant blow to a team that is also missing Hassani Dotson (suspension). Therefore, Peter Kingston might feature alongside Cristian Roldan for the upcoming league contest, with both Brunell and Dotson likely to be eligible again in subsequent weeks. The youngster has been in and out of the initial lineup in the past few months, producing mostly through tackling and pass accuracy.
Subbed in on Saturday
Brunell registered three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against New York Red Bulls.
Analysis: Brunell replaced the injured Kalani Kossa-Rienzi in the 38th minute. Brunell also hit the woodwork in the 53rd minute and made a clearance and a block. This was a substitute appearance after starting back-to-back games.
Assists in 2-1 win
Brunell assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory against FC Dallas.
Analysis: Brunell assisted Jordan Morris to help Seattle Sounders to a 2-1 win over FC Dallas. The youngster has now started three games in a row to bring him to four starts for the season. This assist came from his only chance created in the game and his second chance created this season.
