D.C. United midfielder Russell Canouse, who was held out of Sunday’s match because of a sprained knee ligament, is likely to miss two games this week, club officials said Monday.
Canouse was a late-game substitute April 13 at Colorado and wasn’t in uniform for Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to New York City in Washington.
Canouse first experienced problems with the medial collateral ligament a few weeks ago.
He will not play Wednesday at Columbus and seems unlikely to play Sunday at Minnesota. The team is targeting him to return May 4 against Columbus at Audi Field.
