The Seattle Sounders announced Sunday, prior to their conference semifinal second leg ag ainst FC Dallas, that seven of their players were called up for the next slate of international matches. The international break takes place between the conclusion of Sunday’s semifinal match and the conference finals.

The following players received call-ups from their respective countries: Jordan Morris (USA), Roman Torres (Panama), Joevin Jones (Trinidad & Tobago), Nicolas Lodeiro (Uruguay), Nelson Valdez (Paraguay), Oniel Fisher (Jamaica) and Damion Lowe (Jamaica).

If the Sounders do make it to the Western Conference finals, the first leg wouldn’t be until Nov. 22, to avoid CenturyLink Field conflict with the Seahawks. The last match for any of the internationals is Nov. 15.
