Montreal Impact midfielder Ken Krolicki undergoes elbow surgery

Montreal Impact midfielder Ken Krolicki is expected to miss six weeks after undergoing surgery to his right elbow on Monday.

The MLS club says Krolicki suffered a dislocated right elbow. He was hurt during a pre-season game against Tampa Bay last Wednesday.

The 22-year-old made 18 starts and 24 appearances last year, his first season in MLS. The Japanese-born Krolicki was picked 53rd overall in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft.

Montreal opens its season on Saturday in San Jose, Calif.
