Pedro de la Vega Injury: Suffers fractured patella

De la Vega suffered a fractured patella in Saturday's clash against New York City FC and is out for the time being, the club announced.

De la Vega will be sidelined for about six months after suffering a fractured patella against New York City FC in the regular-season finale on Saturday. This is a major blow for the Sounders since he will miss the playoffs, though he is expected to return in time for the 2026 MLS season. In his absence, Paul Rothrock is set to take on a larger role in the frontline.
