TUKWILA, Wash. (AP) The Seattle Sounders will be without forward David Estrada for the next eight to 12 weeks after he broke his left foot in training.

Estrada's injury was announced by the team on Wednesday. He was injured in practice on Tuesday, walking off early with an ice bag wrapped around his foot.

Estrada has proven to be one of Seattle's biggest surprises early in the MLS season. He leads Seattle with five goals in MLS play and has started 12 of 13 league matches, playing up front as a striker and also in the midfield. Estrada is third on the team in minutes played.

Estrada is scheduled to have surgery on his foot Thursday.
