Quakes head east without Wondo

• by Soccer America , Jun 22, 2013

[MLS SCHEDULE: Week 17] Injuries dogged the San Jose Earthquakes all season under Coach Frank Yallop, and they continue to pose a problem under interim coach Mark Watson.

The Quakes headed to Washington to face D.C. United without Chris Wondolowski, the 2012 MLS MVP. He suffered a contusion on his right foot at practice on Wednesday. Wondo, who was signed to a Designated Player contract in the offseason, leads the Quakes with five goals and is tied for the team lead with three assists.

Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart, who both missed time in 2013 with injuries and suspensions, should start up front on Saturday evening.
