In his weekly press conference, Head Coach Jim Curtin gave various updates on players' health, and one of those updates included Fabian Herbers.
Curtin told reporters that Herbers had successful surgery to repair a sports hernia.
"Fabian Herbers had a sports hernia surgery, so we lose him," Curtin said. "It became a point to where he couldn't bear the pain anymore and it was limiting him, so we wanted to be proactive and get that done. Disappointing loss."
Herbers took to Twitter, saying himself the surgery was successful and that he was already thinking about how to get back to the pitch as quickly as possible.
