SEATTLE, WASH. - Seattle Sounders FC today announced that forward Felix Chenkam underwent successful surgery for a herniated disc. The procedure was performed earlier today by Dr. Farrokh Farrokhi at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle.

Chenkam, 19, was signed on May 25, 2018 from the club's USL side. He ranks second on Sounders FC 2 with four goals scored in just 11 appearances this season. The Douala, Cameroon native tallied five markers in 19 games for S2 in 2017.

After extending its club-record winning streak to seven games with a 1-0 result on Sunday at Portland, Sounders FC (11-9-5, 38 points) takes its 10-match unbeaten streak into Saturday's clash with Sporting Kansas City (13-6-6, 45 points) on the Xbox Pitch at CenturyLink Field (1:00 p.m. PT / Univision Deportes Network, UniMás, JOEtv, Twitter, 950 KJR AM, El Rey 1360 AM). Seattle currently sits in sixth place in the Western Conference, level on points with LA Galaxy but holding the total-wins tiebreaker.
