Orlando City announced today that Antonio Carlos’ hamstring injury will not require surgery but he will be out of action for three to four months. The Brazilian center back sustained the injury early in Saturday’s loss to LAFC on a foul from behind by Brian Rodriguez. The extent of the injury was unknown until today, when the club issued a formal announcement of the diagnosis after an assessment by the medical team at the Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute.
A report four days ago by Joe Kepner of WFTV issued via Twitter indicated that Carlos sustained a torn hamstring and could miss four to six months.
