Real Salt Lake announced earlier today that backup goalkeeper Alex Horwath has undergone surgery on his achilles injury. The surgery was successful but Horwath is expected to be out of play for the rest of the season. The surgery was performed by Dr. Andrew Cooper who said, “Alex’s surgery went really well. It was a full rupture, so we will be a little slower on the front end and they tend to be about six-month recoveries.”
Though this injury is devastating to Alex, it’s not the end of the world for Real Salt Lake.
