Set for surgery Afonso (hernia) will miss two-to-three months with a sports hernia, Miami announced.

Impact Afonso has been out of training with a groin issue, after undergoing further scans he's now set for surgery. It's a disappointing turn for the midfielder, who will be out until around the start of the playoffs. Afonso has been a bench option for the most part.

Absent from training Afonso was absent from training Friday and is questionable for Saturday's match against Cincinnati, according to Jose Armando of Deporte Total USA.

Impact Afonso had no previous report of an injury but could be missing out on the club's first match back in MLS play following the Leagues Cup break, as he wasn't in training Friday. Luckily for the club, this is likely a minor absence, only starting in one of his 11 appearances this campaign. That said, even if he is fit, expect him to serve off the bench.

Scores winning goal Afonso scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win versus Philadelphia Union.

Impact Alfonso came off the bench in the 89th minute of the match and made a huge impact as he scored the winning goal in added time. The forward has made only three appearances in the last month, accumulating a total of 14 minutes played in that span.

Unused in CCL loss Afonso (undisclosed) was an unused option during Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Monterrey during the CCL quarterfinals.

Impact Afonso hade made his MLS debut against NYCFC, having started already since signing with the side. He is set to be a useful option in the midfield, though will need more experience in the league before being a regular member of the starting XI for Inter Miami.

Brought off with injury Afonso was taken off in the 69th minute of Saturday's match against Colorado due to an apparent injury.

Impact Afonso made his season debut Saturday, but it was cut short after picking up an apparent injury. Luckily for the club, this should only be a minor issue, with the forward looking to only hold a minor role as a reserve player this season after just making his debut. He was replaced by Jordi Alba and will hope for only a minor issue, looking to return against Sporting Kansas City on April 13.
