Paul Arriola will rejoin D.C. United this week after aggravating a quadriceps injury while with Swansea City, cutting short a loan late in the Welsh club’s season.
Arriola, 26, made three appearances upon arriving in February but subsequently struggled to earn playing time before suffering the injury in early March. Expected back soon, he reinjured himself last Friday, United officials said Wednesday.
Arriola will be sidelined about six weeks, which overlaps with the remainder of Swansea City’s season. His departure was first reported by WalesOnline.
United had loaned the winger for the remainder of Swansea City’s campaign in the English Championship, one flight below the Premier League.
