Bill Hamid, D.C. United’s longtime starting goalkeeper, will be sidelined at least two to three months with a hand injury, the MLS club announced Friday. He is likely to miss at least 13 matches.
Hamid, 31, underwent surgery June 30 to repair damage in his left hand, a rupture of a distal intermetacarpal ligament. The team said he suffered the injury early in the season and has been playing through it.
Hamid missed the past three matches, the first two with what United said was an illness. He then was listed as unavailable for Monday’s 5-3 victory in Orlando with the injury.
