Nico Lodeiro has second surgery of 2021
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports TUKWILA, Wash. — Nicolás Lodeiro underwent his second surgery of 2021 on Monday, this time to “clean up” some lingering discomfort that resurfaced over the past couple weeks in the same right knee that had been repaired earlier this year. There was no immediate timeline for Lodeiro’s recovery but head coach Brian Schmetzer did say he expected the midfielder to return this year.
“When you do a little clean out, it’s not it’s like an ACL,” Schmetzer said following Monday’s training session. “He will be back.”
