Columbus Crew fans received unfortunate news on Saturday morning. The club announced that young midfielder Aidan Morris will be out for 9-12 months with a severe Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury in his left knee. He will undergo ACL reconstruction and sit out the 2021 season to recover.
Morris fell hard to the pitch in pain from a non-contact play in Thursday night’s win against Real Esteli in the CONCACAF Champions League Round of 16. He left the match in just the ninth minute and was seen watching in a full leg brace for the duration of the second half.
