D.C. United left back Mohanad Jeahze, who already had missed 13 of 19 matches because of injury and legal issues, will undergo ankle surgery Wednesday and remain sidelined for the rest of the season, the club announced Tuesday.
He was placed on the season-ending injury list, which opens an international roster slot heading into the MLS trade and transfer window that runs from July 5 to Aug. 2.
Jeahze, 26, suffered a right ankle fracture and dislocation during training last Wednesday in Leesburg, the club said. In his first MLS season, he posted two assists in the opener against Toronto FC, started the first four games (five overall) and entered as a substitute once before straining a quadriceps April 15 at Montreal.
