New York City FC has announced that midfielder Keaton Parks recently underwent surgery to address blood flow issues in his right leg. The procedure took place at Montefiore Hospital, and Parks will begin rehabilitation immediately with the club’s medical staff.
Parks previously had similar surgeries in 2021 and 2022. This season, he played an important role for New York City FC, appearing in 14 matches, scoring one goal, and providing two assists in Major League Soccer competition.
“Keaton’s health and wellbeing is our priority. The decision to have surgery to address this issue is best for Keaton’s health both now and long-term. On behalf of everyone at the Club, I’d like to wish Keaton all the best in his recovery,” said Sporting Director David Lee. “Keaton has been an important player for us this season, and it’s disappointing to lose a player of his caliber in the middle of the campaign.
“Our medical team has engaged with several world-leading experts in vascular health, ensuring that Keaton is receiving the best medical advice in addressing the current issues and moving forward. We do not yet have a specific timeline on his recovery but will be guided by his progression through rehab.”
The club expressed its support for Parks as he begins his recovery process.
