FRISCO, Texas (AP) — FC Dallas defender Geovane Jesus will miss his second Major League Soccer season in a row because of a right knee injury.

The team said Wednesday that Jesus was placed on its season-ending injury list and will miss all of the 2025 season.

Jesus spent 2024 recovering after tearing his right ACL during a training session on Sept. 13, 2023. He had another surgery this week to address cartilage damage in the same knee.

The 23-year-old Brazilian started 11 of the 19 games he played in 2023, his first season with Dallas. He had two assists and 11 shots.
