Rapids midfielder Marco Pappa out 2 to 4 weeks with sprained knee

Colorado Rapids midfielder Marco Pappa is out two to four weeks with an MCL sprain in his left knee, the club announced Monday.

Pappa, 28, suffered the injury in a knee-on-knee collision with New York Red Bulls' defender Kemar Lawrence in the 71st minute of Colorado's 2-1 win Saturday.

The Guatemalan international, who leads the Rapids with three assists, immediately signaled the bench for a sub, but was able to walk off under his own power.

The Rapids said Pappa's injury was confirmed by an MRI Monday morning. The club said the injury was "non-surgical" and Pappa will begin rehab immediately.
