[Dr.Drako]

It will take two to four weeks for the national defender to return to the fields, at which time his team will begin competing in the 'MLS is Back' tournament, which will mark the return of American football.

Marcos López, a former Sporting Cristal player and regular called up to the Peruvian team, had surgery in the United States and will be out for a short period for San Jose Earthquakes, who will face the return of MLS without the national defender.

 

The 20-year-old winger “underwent an appendectomy on Tuesday afternoon to treat acute appendicitis. The surgery was performed at Orlando Health Doctor P. Phillips Hospital in Orlando, Florida, ”specified the US team.

 

It is estimated that Marcos López's recovery period will last between two and four weeks, so he is ruled out for the debut of San Jose Earthquakes in the 'MLS is Back', a tournament with which the MLS will resume activities after almost four months of suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Earthquakes, where López has been playing since the beginning of 2019, will play the first of their three matches in the group stage of the contest on Friday, July 10 against the Seattle Sounders by Raúl Ruidíaz.

 

The ‘MLS is Back’ will start on July 8 and will be held until August 11 behind closed doors at the Disney World sports complex.

López played 18 matches - 15 as a starter - in 2019 during his first season in San Jose Earthquakes, in which he recorded an attendance.
