Portland Timbers midfielder Eryk Williamson underwent successful surgery on Wednesday to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament on his right knee, the club has announced.

Doctor Richard Edelson performed the procedure, which will sideline Williamson for the rest of the season. He is expected to return in nine months.

Williamson, 25, has not played since April 1, when he logged 90 minutes in Portland’s 1-1 draw with FC Dallas. He had recorded two assists in six games prior to sustaining his second torn ACL in as many years. Williamson tore the ACL in his left knee in August 2021.

In six career Major League Soccer seasons, all spent with Portland, Williamson has tallied four goals and 17 assists in 70 games (50 starts).
