A key component of the LA Galaxy’s 2011 championship team is out for an extended period of time.
The 2011 defender of the year, Omar Gonzalez, tore his ACL while on loan in Germany. He has returned to LA to receive surgery and is almost certainly out for the long-term.
Gonzalez, arguably LA’s most important player after Landon Donovan, is highly unlikely to be ready in time for Toronto FC’s Concacaf Champions League quarter-final tie March 7 and 14.
