Zakuani healthy, happy after reserve stint vs. Gonzaga
TUKWILA, Wash. — The rain was coming down pretty heavily and temperatures were in the low 40s during the Seattle Sounders’ training session on Tuesday.
Steve Zakuani couldn’t have been happier.
The 24-year-old midfielder was training at full speed two days after appearing in a game situation as a member of the Sounders reserves, who played Gonzaga University on Sunday. There were no apparent ill effects from his 45-minute appearance, marking a huge step forward as Zakuani continues to work his way back from the compound leg fracture that he suffered nearly a year ago.
“Before, I didn’t want to be out there training on days like this,” Zakuani told MLSsoccer.com on Tuesday. “Now, put me out there in rain, hail, snow whatever, I’ve really re-found my love and appreciation for football.
