Greg Garza exits MLS All-Star Game with apparent shoulder injury

It didn’t take long for a player to fall to injury in the 2017 MLS All-Star Game vs. Real Madrid in Chicago. Unfortunately for Atlanta United, it was starting left back Greg Garza that came off in the fifth minute due to an apparent right shoulder injury.

The actual incident came in the third minute as Garza was running down the near touchline with the ball with Real Madrid midfielder Isco in pursuit. Isco made a sliding challenge for it but got tangled up with Garza in the process. The 25-year-old Texan fell and would be tended to by trainers before exiting the game after being ruled unable to continue.
