Felipe Mora suffers once more due to physical condition. Through a statement on the official website, the Portland Timbers announced that the Chilean attacker “will undergo cartilage restoration surgery on his left knee” This Wednesday, August 3. Thus, the former U is ruled out for the rest of the season.
Mora underwent surgery in mid-February and managed to play part of the year. However, “the symptoms now require more extensive intervention,” says the MLS club. The surgery will be in Los Angeles.
The most complex thing is that, according to doctors’ estimates, Mora will only return in nine months. That is, in April of next year. Eduardo Berizzo and La Roja also lose an option.
The rehabilitation of Mora, who has 19 goals and seven assists for the club, will be “with the Timbers’ sports medicine staff at Providence Park and at the Providence Sports Care Center.”
