Branko Boskovic, DC United's Designated Player, underwent successful ACL surgery on Monday and will be out at least six months. The surgery likely means he'll be out for the rest of the 2011 season and could mean he has played his final game in Black and Red. Boskovic had not been starting during MLS play and it's unclear how much interest United would have in bringing him back.
Branko Boskovic, DC United’s Designated Player, Undergoes ACL Surgery, Out At Least Six Months
“We are pleased that Branko has undergone successful surgery, and we expect him to make a full recovery over the coming months,” DC United General Manager Dave Kasper said in a team statement.
Boskovic suffered the injury during a U.S. Open Cup qualifying match when he was tackled by a New England Revolution player. Although he had been relegated to the bench for much of this MLS season, he was just rounding into form and had scored two goals in the game in which he was injured. He is one of four high-profile MLS players to go down with potential season-ending injuries after questionable tackles.
