  "textContent": "Jeremiah and Niko discuss a relatively quiet week in terms of Sounders news, but do dig into the revelation that Yeimar Gomez Andrade will be out until after the World Cup. They explain that's more about the emergence of other options at center back and the flexibility that gives the Sounders to bring him back slowly. They also preview the upcoming game against San Diego FC and try to better understand their early-season struggles.\n\n_Follow Niko Moreno on_  BlueSky_and_  YouTube_._\n\n|\n---\n\n# What We Learned This Week: Yeimar out for a while longer and San Diego match preview\n\nListen to the episode: Click here\n| Available on:\n---\nThis player is still in beta, there may be some bugs.\n\nWhat We Learned This Week: Yeimar out for a while longer and San Diego match preview\n\nAvailable on: __________\n\nSPONSORED\n\nThis newsletter was made possible through the support of Full Pull Wines, a boutique wines reseller that has been sponsoring us since 2011.\n\n\n                            Join their mailing list\n                        \n\n* * *\n\n_Nos Audietis is the flagship podcast for Sounder at Heart, which has been primarily listener supported since 2023.
