US Winger Kevin Paredes Undergoes Surgery, Faces Uncertain Return

WOLFSBURG, Germany (AP) – Aug 13: United States winger Kevin Paredes is once again facing time off the field due to a foot injury while at Wolfsburg, following a season largely marred by similar health setbacks.

The Bundesliga club announced on Tuesday that Paredes successfully underwent surgery on his foot the previous day. However, the 22-year-old is now out “for the time being.”

Born in Virginia, Paredes had shown promising talent as a rising star both for Wolfsburg and the U.S. national team, where he made his debut in 2023. Unfortunately, persistent injuries have hampered his progress.

Last season, Paredes managed to feature in only two Bundesliga matches after enduring a foot injury that kept him off the pitch for several months. Although Wolfsburg has not specified whether this latest surgical procedure is linked to the previous injury, the recurrence is a setback. (AP) UNG
