Real Salt Lake News Release
HERRIMAN, Utah - Rookie Real Salt Lake DF Kevin Bonilla underwent surgery today to repair injuries in his left knee sustained in a Feb. 14 preseason match against Toronto FC in Santa Barbara.
In updates provided by RSL Senior Director of Athlete Health & Performance Theron Enns, Bonilla is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 Major League Soccer season.

Dain Allred from Intermountain Health, who performed the procedure at the Intermountain Utah Valley Hospital in Provo," said Enns. "Kevin will work closely with the RSL Medical Staff beginning this week to rehabilitate these injuries."
