Real Salt Lake's Diego Luna to miss rest of MLS season with torn meniscus
The 23-year-old attacker announced that his season in the MLS is over, with a return planned next year.
Diego Luna, a 23-year-old Real Salt Lake player, has announced that he will miss the remainder of the MLS season due to a torn meniscus in his knee. In an Instagram post, Luna revealed that he is not the Diego Luna that many supporters are accustomed to, expressing regret for not being able to fully express himself and reach his potential due to a difficult year.
Real Salt Lake has been winless in their last 11 matches in MLS play, and Luna has been a key contributor in most of those games, starting matches and playing full 70-minute stints in a September 9 loss to the Houston Dynamo. He was also listed on the injury report with a knee issue for a September 12 defeat to the New York City FC, leading to his decision to undergo surgery and sit out the rest of the season. Despite this setback, Luna remains committed to bouncing back for the upcoming season.
