San Jose Earthquakes standout midfielder Hernan Lopez underwent right shoulder surgery on Friday and is expected to miss three to four months.

Lopez, 24, hasn't scored in two matches this season after having six goals and two assists in 24 MLS matches (22 starts) in 2024.

San Jose acquired Lopez 11 months ago from Argentine club Godoy Cruz for a club-record $6 million transfer fee. The Earthquakes subsequently signed him through the 2026 season with options for 2027-28.

Lopez scored seven goals for Godoy Cruz and tallied 12 overall with seven assists for three different Argentine clubs between 2019-24.

San Jose (2-1-0, 6 points) host the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
