Seattle Sounders players cannot fault the attitude of Fredy Montero over his demotion to the bench this season.
The exciting striker has struggled for form this term.
But Sounders defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado told the Seattle Times: "We all know what a great player Fredy is, and in this sport sometimes you're in and sometimes you're out.
"Right now Fredy's out but he's taking it with great responsibility and professionalism. We hope that soon he's off the bench, back in the game and playing the type of soccer we all know he's capable of playing."
