Atlanta United right back Brooks Lennon is expected to miss between four to six months after undergoing shoulder surgery, the club announced Monday.
Lennon suffered a dislocated shoulder in Game 1 of Atlanta's Round One Best-of-3 Series against Inter Miami CF in the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs. Now, the 27-year-old is slated to return early in the 2025 MLS season.
Lennon has 11 goals and 44 assists in 232 regular-season matches, spanning Real Salt Lake (2017-19) and Atlanta (2020-24). Before coming to MLS, he played for English Premier League side Liverpool's academy.
Atlanta visit Miami for Saturday's decisive Game 3 to determine who advances to an Eastern Conference Semifinal against the winner of the Orlando City SC-Charlotte FC series (8 pm ET | MLS Season Pass).
