Get Well Mike Banner! FC Edmonton Defender Has Successful ACL Surgery
Stone Sports Management would like to wish FC Edmonton Defender Mike Banner a quick and successful recovery from ACL surgery performed in Edmonton yesterday. Banner was injured on a fluke play in Spring when Montreal Impact Midfielder Felipe Martins lost control and fell forward on to Banner's planted leg in the 2014 AMWAY Canadian Championship. The force came with enough velocity and an angle that caused Banner to go down in pain and damage his knee.
Banner is determined to come back even stronger for the 2015 season and has already been working extremely hard strenghthening his body in preparation for the surgery. Our thoughts are with Mike during this difficult period but also look forward to his return.
