Houston Dynamo defender Aljaž "Kiki" Struna underwent successful arthroscopic surgery at the Memorial Hermann Surgery Center Texas Medical Center today to treat his left knee.

The defender is expected to make a full recovery and return to training following his rehabilitation.

“This unexpected break in play gives us and Kiki the opportunity get this minor issue taken care of. We wanted to act quickly to give him ample recovery time to prepare for the remainder of the season,” says Dynamo GM Matt Jordan.

Struna has started and played 90 minutes in Houston’s first two matches of the 2020 MLS regular season. The 29-year-old earned MLS Team of the Week, presented by Audi, honors after his season debut in Houston’s 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy on Feb. 29 at BBVA Stadium.
