SEATTLE, WASH. – Sounders FC forward Jordan Morris, currently on loan with Welsh side Swansea City, suffered a knee injury on Saturday in an English Championship match against Huddersfield Town. Following Swansea City ruling him out for the remainder of the season, Morris is set to return stateside to prepare for surgery with Dr. Bert Mandelbaum in Santa Monica, California.
“First and foremost, we have been in touch with Jordan and he has our full support during this difficult time for him and his family. It’s important to us that he get the best care possible, as well as the most comfortable environment to recover,” said Sounders FC General Manager & President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey.
