Diego Rubio has undergone minor surgery on his right knee, the Colorado Rapids announced Monday morning. He is expected to miss two to five weeks for rehab.
Rubio was added late to the team’s injury report for Sunday’s season opener. The Rapids Community reacted as one would expect, though Burgundy Wave quickly confirmed it was not a serious injury. No ACL or MCL injury.
The surgery was a an arthroscopic procedure to remove a loose body in his right knee. This could stunt or at least delay Rubio’s 2023 season, which all are hoping would replicate or at least come close to what he did last season.
