When the Columbus Crew SC front office made the decision to loan out defensive midfielder Rodrigo Saravia at the start of the month, it was with an eye toward the young player’s continued development. But now it looks like that development will be put on hold.
On Monday, Guatemalan radio station 106.1 La Red tweeted out a photo of Saravia lying in a hospital bed with a boot on his right foot and a doctor at his side, reporting that the player — who is a Guatemalan international — had undergone successful surgery for a fractured foot.
