Replacing Felipe Gutierrez

This past week, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club would be without Felipe Gutierrez for the rest of the 2020 season as he had surgery on his knee to correct a cartilage defect. The recovery time for that injury is seven to nine months. It’s the same surgery that former player, Jimmy Medranda had in 2018. That surgery for Medranda in August of 2018 kept him off the field in a game until May of 2019. A similar timeline would keep Gutierrez off the field until basically the beginning of the 2021 season for Sporting.
