Austin FC's Brandon Vázquez Tears Right ACL, Hampering World Cup Chances

Done for season Vazquez suffered a torn ACL and will undergo season-ending surgery, according to his club.

Impact Vazquez was stretchered off from Tuesday's Open Cup win, leaving many fans worried about his status. Unfortunately, he has met the worst possible fate and will now end his season with a torn ACL, set to receive surgery in the next few days. This is a huge loss for the club as they lose their regular starter at forward, bagging five goals thus far, which led to an All-Star selection. He will now look ahead to the next season to be fit, with Jader Obrian, Robert Taylor and Diego Rubio likely to earn more time with Vazquez out.

Stretchered off in Gold Cup Vazquez was stretchered off the field in the 72nd minute of Tuesday's Gold Cup loss against San Jose due to a non-contact injury.

Impact Vazquez had a scary scene late in the first half Tuesday, performing a stepover before he went to the ground holding his knee with what appeared to be a non-contact injury. Unfortunately, this does not look to be good for the forward, with initial sights pointing the forward towards a serious injury. He will likely receive further testing soon, and a confirmation of his injury should follow after, leaving the club holding their breath as they hope their regular forward is fit. That said, if he were to miss time, Jader Obrian, Robert Taylor and Diego Rubio would likely see more time filling in his spot.
