The list of players available to the Seattle Sounders FC in the expansion draft came out Monday. On Wednesday, the newest member of Major League Soccer will be able to select 10 players to help fill out their roster for 2009. The Sounders can select only one player from any one MLS team, meaning four teams will not be affected. With four players already signed by the club – goalkeeper Kasey Keller, midfielder Freddie Ljungberg, USL superstar forward Sebastian Le Toux and midfielder Sanna Nyassi – the 10 additional picks will form the nucleus of the 2009 Seattle squad.
Nine-time winner Real Madrid, four-time champion Bayern Munich, two-time winner FC Porto, Lyon, Arsenal and Villarreal also advanced to the knockout phase with a game to spare.
