Orlando City defender David Mateos will be out four to six weeks with a Grade 2 MCL injury.

Mateos suffered the partial tear during the Lions' 1-0 loss to Montreal last week. He went down in the second half clutching his right knee and came off the pitch. He rejoined the game moments later, but went down again before he was subbed off in the 52nd minute.

The season is now over for Mateos, who will be forced to miss the Lions' final two matches against Philadelphia and D.
