LA Galaxy will play in the MLS Cup final for the first time in a decade, but will do so without one of its most important players. The club announced that Spanish midfielder, Riqui Puig, suffered a torn ACL in the Western Conference final against Seattle Sounders.
"The LA Galaxy today confirmed that midfielder Riqui Puig suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee and will miss the 2024 MLS Cup," the club said in a statement. "Puig sustained the injury in the second half of the match, continuing to play over thirty minutes despite his injury, and providing the game-winning assist on Dejan Joveljić’s 85th minute goal."
