LA Galaxy prepare for Rolf Feltscher's lengthy injury absence

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are planning for life without Rolf Feltscher for the next few months.

The left-sided defender went down with a pectoralis major tendon tear in training last week that will force him to miss the next three to four months. Feltscher has been a regular in the Galaxy’s lineup this season, starting seven matches for Sigi Schmid’s squad.

Although the Venezuelan will miss considerable time, Schmid is optimistic that he'll be ready for the stretch run.

“I think four months is the back end of the timeline, three months is the optimistic end of the timeline.
