André Franco, a midfielder loaned by FC Porto to Chicago Fire, announced on social media that he suffered a serious knee injury and will be sidelined for several months.
In the post, it reads: “It seems life wanted to test me, and it was confirmed that I have an injury that will keep me off the field for a few months. Tough times are ahead, but I am ready for this challenge. In this profession, we know we are always subject to these types of injuries, and bad luck knocked on my door this time. Is it sad? Yes. Frustrating? Very much so. Is it the end of the world? Not even close, what's mine is safe, and I will go after it.”
The 27-year-old midfielder moved to the United States in search of more playing time, after never managing to establish himself with the Dragons. For Chicago Fire, he has four assists in seven games.
The agreement between FC Porto and the MLS club includes a purchase option worth 1.1 million euros.
