Los Angeles Galaxy defender Leonardo will miss the rest of the Major League Soccer season because of a pair of torn ligaments in his right knee.
The 23-year-old from Brazil injured his anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament during Sunday's 2-1 win at Chicago.
Following an MRI Monday, the Galaxy said Leonardo is tentatively scheduled for surgery next week with club doctors from the Santa Monica Orthopaedic Group.
