ACL tear confirmed Smith suffered a torn ACL during Friday's 7-0 loss to Philadelphia, his club confirmed Sunday. He's set to undergo surgery and begin his rehabilitation.

Impact Smith is expected to miss between six-and-nine months while recovering from surgery, missing the rest of the 2022 season but unlikely to miss much time during the 2023 campaign. Sami Guediri has started each of the last two matches on the left flank and should take over that spot for the rest of the year with Smith out.
