FRISCO, Texas (Nov. 22, 2010)
– FC Dallas captain Daniel Hernandez is scheduled for an MRI Tuesday to
determine the full extent of damage to his right knee after playing with the
injury during the Dallas side's month-long playoff run. A decision regarding off-season
surgery for the midfielder will be made following the MRI.
Hernandez suffered the injury prior to the second leg of the Western Conference
Semifinal against Real Salt Lake, but the team captain chose to play with the
pain during the Dallas side's quest for its first MLS Cup. Recovery could take
anywhere from six weeks to five months depending on the extent of the injury.
Defender George John and midfielder Atiba
Harris are also expected to have off-season surgery to repair ankle injuries.
