Chicago Fire striker David Accam will be out of action for a month after undergoing a hernia operation, the club has announced.
The 27-year-old is expected to return at the end of December.
The former Right to Dream Academy graduate has been overlooked for international call-up despite impressing in the Major League Soccer.
Accam enjoyed his best ever season in the MLS, scoring 14 goals in 31 appearances at the end of the season.
NR: David Accam had corrective surgery yesterday, he had a sports hernia that was handled and the expectation is he’ll be back to full training by the end of December. David has proven to be an important part of the team. #cf97
