Jordan Morris has suffered another horrendous ACL injury, in what was pretty much the worst-case scenario for the USMNT and Seattle Sounders forward. sports.yahoo.com/usmnt-jordan-morris-serious-acl-143816800.html... However, Morris was stretchered off the pitch in the defeat at Huddersfield on Saturday and Swansea manager Steve Cooper has confirmed the injury could not be any worse. “He’s had a bad injury unfortunately for him. It’s significant ligament damage, ACL. Everything we hoped it wasn’t, unfortunately it is. It’s the end of his season for us and a long road back to recovery, it’s very cruel,” Cooper said. “But in terms of him fulfilling his ambition to play in Europe, and embracing what we are trying to do here, it is a really tough one for him and us to take. |

That’s a downer. He’s not my favorite player but I applaud his ambition this year to go to England. Sucks that he’s back to rehab.

Other knee. It should not be different than others that have torn both knees (a lot of high school, college and pro players). He will probably not make the World Cup team though. I do think he will be able to remain a pro. |

I think his European dream is over...but then again, I didn’t think Tom Brady would get to another super bowl either... |

EPL will be tough but he will not be too old to play on a good European League as long as he fully recovers. It doesn't have to be the EPL unless that's all he's interested in outside the MLS.

Zlatan was a good bit older when he tore his. He was 35, and he seems to have come back from it just fine. Then again, we probably all know he is not exactly a normal human.
This is really difficult to hear for Morris. Like someone said above, he is not my favorite player. Regardless, this is not an injury and situation I would wish on anyone. Finally make the jump to Europe....and boom. How discouraging this must be for him.

did he come back to the states for the surgery? Yes: “ UPDATE (Feb. 22, 6:40 pm ET): Jordan Morris will return to the United States to have surgery on the serious knee injury he suffered while on loan at Swansea City, Seattle Sounders announced Monday. Swansea had earlier confirmed that the player would miss the remainder of the Championship season. Morris will have surgery in Santa Monica, California, with Dr. Bert Mandelbaum.” |

Well-known. Zlatan had his done by Freddie Fu. Fu is probably the leading surgeon in the country on ACL but Mendelbaum is right up there with him. |
