The Spanish player, Riqui Puig, played more than 30 minutes of play with a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee against the Seattle Sounders, as reported by his team, the LA Galaxy. It sounds surprising, but according to the LA Galaxy, “Puig continued to play more than 30 minutes despite the injury and provided the assist on Dejan Joveljic’s winning goal,” the club said in a press release.
