Overview
- Luna announced on social media that he has a torn meniscus and will undergo surgery that ends his 2026 MLS campaign.
- The injury follows a run of poor results for Real Salt Lake, with the club winless in 11 matches and already having sold attacking contributor Zavier Gozo this summer.
- RSL recently added Taylor Booth, who debuted in the Sept. 12 loss to New York City FC, but Luna’s absence further reduces options for manager Pablo Mastroeni.
- Medical timelines reported by coverage project Luna likely will not be ready for international duty until about March 2027, which delays any near-term return to the U.S. men’s national team picture.
- Luna apologized to supporters in his post, vowed to return next season, and now faces months of rehabilitation that will shape RSL’s playoff push and his development as a U.S. prospect.
