New York City FC defender Drew Baiera will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured ACL in his left knee, the team said Thursday.

Baiera played in 21 minutes over three matches for NYCFC and didn't dent the scoresheet.

Per NYCFC.network, Baiera sustained the injury during his recent stint with the U.S. youth national team.

The 19-year-old will begin rehab immediately after the surgery.

New York City FC visit the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday.
