L.A.'s Gonzalez has successful ACL surgery

Published November 20, 2014

Los Angeles Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez had successful surgery Friday night to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.

Gonzalez, 23, is expected to be out approximately 7-9 months. He will begin rehabilitation later this month. The 2011 MLS Defender of the Year was injured last week in his first training session on loan with German club Nurnberg.

A two-time MLS Best XI selection, Gonzalez has been a key piece of the Galaxy since being selected in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft.

In his three years with the club, Gonzalez has started 87 games, helping lead the club to a pair of MLS Cup appearances. L.A. won the Cup last year.
