Brian Ching has successful surgery

Earlier today, Dynamo and US National forward Brian Ching underwent surgery to treat a torn right lateral meniscus.

In all, the surgery only took 45-minutes and was described by the team's doctor as successful.

Ching will start rehab soon, but will miss about 4-weeks of play while he recovers.

Houston currently sits 4-points behind FC Dallas in the Western Conference. During his recovery, Ching will miss 5 MLS road games. I guess some people will do anything to get out of a road trip.

Houston will play Dallas twice during this period. The first game is next Wednesday's US Open Cup match and then the clubs meet again on September 2nd in MLS play.

Ching is Houston's bester goal scorer of the season with 10 goals from 16 matches.
