Recently, Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Stefan Frei underwent surgery to repair a finger injury. Frei, who has been with the Sounders since 2014, suffered the injury during a training session and was forced to miss the team’s last two matches.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Michael O’Neill, a hand specialist at the University of Washington Medical Center. According to the Sounders, the procedure was successful and Frei is expected to make a full recovery.
Frei has been a key member of the Sounders since joining the team in 2014. During his time in Seattle, he has made over 200 appearances and won two MLS Cups. He was also named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2014.
The Sounders have not yet announced when Frei will be able to return to action. However, they have said that they are confident that he will make a full recovery and be back in goal soon.
Injuries can be devastating for any athlete, but especially for goalkeepers. It is important for them to have full use of their hands and fingers in order to make saves and control the ball.
It is encouraging to see that Frei was able to undergo successful surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. The Sounders are fortunate to have such a talented goalkeeper on their roster and will be eager to get him back on the field as soon as possible.
