San Jose Earthquakes defender Nathan is recovering from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

The 26-year-old Brazilian is expected to be sidelined for up to two months, the team announced Tuesday.

Nathan was injured in the first half of San Jose’s season-opening 3-1 loss to the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.

He scored two goals in 20 matches for the Earthquakes during his debut MLS season in 2021.
