Olsen, Stratford have surgery

07/07/2008 2:37 PM by Kyle Sheldon

Quick injury update:  

Dan Stratford had successful surgery on his left knee this morning by Dr. Kevin Sumida of Commonwealth Orthopeadics at the Virginia Hospital Center.  He is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. 

Ben Olsen is also having surgery today in Baltimore on his left ankle.  After playing last week against the Galaxy and finding the pain to be significant, the midfielder opted to have a few things done to try and get closer to full strength.  We'll have more information once the surgery is complete, but Benny will likely miss at least a month.

    He was on some radio show saying he was going to try and give it another go before deciding what to do. Hopefully the surgery will help, because we really could use him.

    And i didn't know there was anything wrong with Stratford! hope he'll be okay too.
