On the day when Toronto FC ended the tenure of interim coach Chris Cummins, Director of Soccer Mo Johnston announced that midfielder Amado Guevara will need major knee surgery.
Guevara, 33, is expected to undergo the surgery in his native Honduras after an international friendly against Latvia on November 14.
“My biggest concern right now for Amado Guevara is major knee surgery,” Johnston said on Tuesday. “He has had a problem for the last three-or four weeks and he needs to get it cleaned out. He has a game in Honduras and after that he will stay and have the surgery.”
Guevara played in 25 games for Toronto this summer and captained Honduras to its first-ever World Cup qualification. He is under contract to return to the Reds next season, which will be his third.
