SDFC star Chucky Lozano exits match with potential hamstring injury

International break provides recovery time for key winger who has been instrumental in team's rise to second place in Western Conference
SDFC's Chucky Lozano Suffers Potential Hamstring Setback After Setting Up Winning Goal

San Diego FC continued their winning ways over the weekend, but the victory may have come at a cost as star winger Chucky Lozano left the field with a potential hamstring injury.

Lozano exited Saturday night's match at Snapdragon Stadium in the second half, grabbing at his hamstring shortly after setting up the go-ahead goal with an assist to Luca De La Torre against Austin FC.

The injury appears similar to one Lozano suffered in the home opener on March 1 that sidelined him for nearly a month.

Lozano has been one of the key performers for SDFC over the past month, including his game-winning goal in the final seconds to beat the LA Galaxy.

During this stretch, SDFC has posted a 5-1-1 record to climb to second place in the MLS Western Conference standings.

The team now faces the possibility of more time without their star player, though the timing could be fortunate. Due to a break for international play, SDFC doesn't have another MLS match for almost two weeks, giving Lozano time to recover.

The team is expected to provide an injury update later this week.
