Major League Soccer

New York Red Bulls

Toronto FC

<p>The New York Red Bulls playmaker Lewis Morgan sustained a left knee injury in training, underwent successful surgery and will be sidelined for at least six weeks as a result, the club announced this week.</p><p>The Scotland international helped lead them to an MLS Cup 2024 appearance, where they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/la-galaxy-new-york-red-bulls-mls-cup-riqui-puig-gabriel-pec-joseph-paintsil-emil-forsberg/bltff76e0b9dda03559" target="_self">fell just short against the LA Galaxy.</a></p><p>“From the mental side, [he’s] in a positive way, in a good spot,” coach Sandro Schwarz said during a news conference on Thursday. “He’s also very professional now in his rehab with the medical department with all the guys. I’m pretty sure … in the next weeks, hopefully, he’s making big steps, and then he’ll be ready in six weeks for us.”</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Red Bulls have been hindered by injuries to start the season, with defender Cam Harper sidelined by a knee injury sustained in their home opener. Newly acquired Wiktor Bogacz has yet to make his debut due to a back injury. Schwarz said that attacker Mohammed Sofo, who started in place of Morgan on Matchday 3, will miss two weeks due to a groin injury.</p><p>The RBNY manager added that the absences will lead to "big chances" for young players to step up and fill the gap - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-my/lists/mls-s-top-10-most-exciting-u22-players-in-2025-cavan-sullivan-jack-mcglynn-nathan-saliba/blt9ff183780afbfa6a" target="_self">such as 16-year-old Julian Hall</a> - among others. However, Schwarz also acknowledged that the club are looking "inside and outside' of the roster for potential support due to their growing injury list. The MLS transfer window is open until April 23.</p><p>“This is our responsibility for the club, and we are talking all together to find the best solution,” the Red Bulls coach added. “We are talking every time about solutions. About what we can do to improve our roster.”</p>
