Revolution forward Juan Agudelo underwent surgery on Friday for a minor facial injury suffered during last week’s U.S. match against Jamaica.

Agudelo suffered a small facial bone fracture during the first half of the match, but fought through it to play the full 90. He is expected to resume training when the club returns to Arizona next week for the Desert Diamond Cup.

The 23-year-old forward was called into U.S. camp last month, and saw action in friendlies against Serbia and Jamaica.

Agudelo is coming off a 2016 campaign in which he scored seven goals, a team-high shared with Kei Kamara. The U.S. international also collected a career-high five assists last season.
