Atlanta United left-back Mikey Ambrose will miss three-to-four months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, the team announced Monday.
Ambrose, 24, was injured on July 25 while playing for Atlanta United's USL team.
Ambrose has played in nine games this season, including eight starts, and chipped in the first two assists of his career for MLS-leading Atlanta. He has played in 21 games (14 starts) over three years at the MLS level.
Chris McCann, who has started the last four games at left-back, will likely remain there long term with Greg Garza still a few months away from returning after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum.
