Waylon Francis Had Surgery... But No One Told Us

If you’ve wondered why Waylon Francis seemed to disappear from the Columbus Crew SC squad rotation of late and has only played 40 minutes since injuring his shoulder in an Aug. 13 match with New York City FC, you questions were answered today.

Despite no update on the left back from the club, Francis had surgery, evidently successful, on Tuesday morning.

Thank God the operation was a success now I'm going to take my time to recover! #stay strong pic.twitter.com/c9Jj7ysyKF

Francis left the match last month after 61 minutes following a collision on corner kick.
