Inter Miami defender Ian Fray out with meniscus injury

Ian Fray - Inter Miami

Inter Miami CF defender Ian Fray will soon undergo surgery after suffering an injury to his right medial meniscus, the Supporters' Shield champions announced Saturday.

The 22-year-old homegrown got hurt during the second half of Inter Miami's 2-1 win over Atlanta United on Friday night, raising concerns about potentially a fourth ACL (knee) injury in his young career.

However, a source confirms to MLSsoccer.com that Fray's ACL is intact and he is expected to return early in 2025.

While no return-to-play timeline was provided, Fray could miss the remainder of Inter Miami's Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs run. They're eyeing a Shield-Cup double, with the final set for Dec. 7.

Now in his fourth season with Inter Miami, Fray has 3g/1a in 31 matches across all competitions. He initially turned pro in January 2021.
