ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando City right back Scott Sutter didn’t expect to miss so much time when he first injured his knee.
He felt a sharp pain on the inside of his right knee early in Orlando City’s match against the Portland Timbers on April 8. He continued to play until he was subbed off for RJ Allen in the 58th minute of the match.
He wouldn’t return to game action until the 66th minute of Orlando City’s 2-0 loss to the Montreal Impact on Saturday – two and 1/2 months later.
“Obviously, it’s been a long eight, nine weeks, a lot longer than we all thought it would be,” Sutter said after Saturday’s match.
