San Jose Earthquakes News Release
SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Jose Earthquakes defender Kevin Partida underwent ACL reconstruction surgery and a partial meniscectomy on his right knee on Thursday after suffering an injury in the July 7 match against the Portland Timbers.

Partida was selected by the Earthquakes in the third round of the 2018 MLS SuperDraft (No. 58 overall) and spent preseason with San Jose before signing with Reno. He made eight starts in nine total appearances for 1868 FC this season, scoring one goal.
