When Stefan Frei went down after colliding with centerback Shane O’Neill late in Wednesday’s match against the San Jose Earthquakes, the worst was feared. Frei was writhing on the ground in obvious pain and had to be helped off the field, unable to put weight on his left leg.
A day later, Frei was able to share some less dire news.
Lucky to have had the impact dispersed. A few tears, but nothing important. I will work hard to be back on the pitch as soon as possible. Thanks for all the support

Assuming this means the injury is to muscle and not a ligament, Frei’s recovery may be measured in weeks and not months.
