D.C. United has lost another goalkeeper to injury, leaving the MLS club without an experienced netminder two weeks into the season.
Andrew Dykstra, who was thrust into the starting role when Bill Hamid underwent knee surgery in January, will have an operation Friday for a herniated disk and miss 10 to 12 weeks, club officials said Wednesday.
With its top keepers sidelined, United will turn to Travis Worra, a second-year pro who made his first MLS start last Saturday, and Charlie Horton, a U.S. under-23 national team candidate who signed two weeks ago.
