<p>SEATTLE — The Seattle Sounders will be without starting goalkeeper Stefan Frei for at least a month due to a knee injury he suffered in a victory over San Jose. </p>
<p>Seattle coach Brian Schmetzer said Friday that Frei did not suffer damage to the ACL in his left knee and will not require surgery. Schmetzer called it a sprained knee and was hopeful Frei would miss only four to six weeks. </p>
<p>Frei was injured late in Seattle’s 1-0 win Wednesday over San Jose. He landed awkwardly while attempting to make a save and was down for several minutes before being helped to the locker room while putting no weight on the leg.</p>
<p>Out of substitutes, the Sounders placed winger Alex Roldan in goal for the closing minutes. Roldan made a pair of saves to help Seattle secure the victory.</p>
<p>The news wasn’t as good for midfielder Jordy Delem, who suffered a torn ACL early in the match and will be out for the season, Schmetzer said.</p>
