Up front, I want to be clear that although I am a practicing physician in a Seattle hospital I have no direct knowledge of the players’ conditions, treatment, or prognosis. Some of you may recall this same disclaimer when I accurately prognosticated Clint Dempsey’s arrhythmia, so with that in mind let’s gaze into the crystal ball together.
First up, Stefan Frei. He had a knee injury on May 12 that he described as “a few tears, but nothing important.” After watching replays of the injury and studying the mechanism and angles I suspect it was a minor MCL tear, possibly with medial meniscus involvement.
