PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Timbers midfielder Sebastián Blanco will miss the remainder of the season after the results of an MRI revealed a torn ACL in his right knee, the club announced today.
Blanco, who suffered the injury in Sunday’s 2-1 win at Seattle, will undergo surgery on Sept. 14. A timetable for his return will be determined following the procedure.
Update: I can confirm that @TimbersFC attacker Sebastián Blanco tore his right ACL on Sunday against @SoundersFC. Expect an official announcement with more information soon.
