Atlanta United midfielder Santiago Sosa underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia, according to the team Tuesday.

Sosa made 25 appearances for the MLS club during the regular season and also started its playoff loss against NYC FC.

The club said the timeline to return is to be determined. The club likely will open training camp in late January or early February of next year. If Sosa is unavailable the team has options, including Franco Ibarra.
