Chivas USA's Sasha Victorine Out Up to Eight Months
The MLS season is over for Chivas USA, but the injuries keep piling up.
Midfielder Sasha Victorine is out six to eight months - yes, months - after undergoing microfracture surgery on his left knee today in Santa Monica.
The former Galaxy midfielder played just five games for Chivas USA, scoring two goals, after his Sept. 15 deadline day trade from the Kansas City Wizards.
Originally, Victorine was supposed to be out a matter of weeks, not months, after suffering the injury Oct. 19 against Colorado.

Sir, behold Preki's fruits. He didn't learn from last year's mistakes of resting key players after qualifying for the playoffs. Already a bad start to the 2009 season.
