New Mexico United is devastated to report that Cristian Nava has suffered a reinjury to his ACL. Nava will undergo surgery to repair the injury, is expecting a recovery of about eight months, and will miss the 2024 season.
“Cristian is a fighter and a winner,” said United Sporting Director Itamar Keinan. “We are all truly devastated by this injury, but every one of us will rally around Cristian in his recovery. We are supremely confident that he will come back stronger than ever. We ask that you keep Cristian in your thoughts through this time.”
“Cristian has shown incredible growth through this long recovery process, and we are blessed to have him in our locker room,” said United Head Coach Eric Quill. “Every coach, player, and staff member is committed to being there for Cristian and fighting for him all season long.”
Nava was nearing completion of his recovery from the same injury just over a year ago. New Mexico United is committed to providing Nava with the top level of recovery care and support available.
