D.C. United midfielder Paul Arriola injured his knee during a preseason game against Orlando City SC, the club said Saturday. He will receive a medical scan Sunday to determine the extent of the injury.
Arriola started United’s fourth preseason game against Orlando, but he had to leave the field in the 30th minute. United is waiting for further medical examination before sharing additional information, but the Washington Post’s Steven Goff reported the injury is a suspected anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.
United won the game 1-0 against Orlando thanks to a goal from Loudoun United defender Michael Gamble in the 77th minute.
