New York City FC defender Thiago Martins will miss four-to-six weeks after knee surgery, the club said Thursday.

The 30-year-old Brazilian is expected to make a full recovery.

NYCFC did not provide details on when the injury occurred or the exact nature of the procedure.

He has one assist in 22 MLS matches (21 starts) this season and two assists in 105 matches (101 starts) since making his league debut with New York City in 2022.
