Another MLS midfielder became a casualty of Chivas USA Saturday night. In the 68th minute, DC MF Chris Pontius collided with Chivas USA's Junior Lopes. Lopes was given a red card on the play, Pontius was stretchered off the pitch at the Home Depot Center.
According to DC United, Pontius has a non-displaced fracture of his right tibia. There is no estimation of how long he will be out as of yet. Pontius had three assists on the evening prior to the injury.
Honestly I don't think there was any ill intent on the play, but it happened nonetheless. Just like Javi Morales. However, as a Real Salt Lake supporter, I'm biased. I hope Pontius isn't out too long.
