Sporting Kansas City announced today that midfielder Gadi Kinda has undergone an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee that will require a cartilage restoration procedure. Kinda has been placed on the Season-Ending Injury List and will be sidelined for seven to nine months.
Per MLS rules, if a player suffers a season-ending injury, a club may place that injured player on the Season-Ending Injury List and receive roster relief (i.e., an open roster slot). Once placed on the Season-Ending Injury List, the injured player is not eligible to play for the club in any remaining competition during that MLS season.
