Houston Dynamo FC winger Lawrence Ennali will miss the remainder of the 2024 season with an ACL tear, the club announced Tuesday.
Ennali injured his knee during Houston's 2-0 win at LAFC last Saturday. He scored in the 72nd minute after subbing on for Ibrahim Aliyu.
The 22-year-old German joined Houston in July from Polish top-flight side Górnik Zabrze. He signed the largest U22 Initiative deal in Dynamo history, arriving alongside DP striker Ezequiel Ponce.
Ennali is Houston's second attacker dealing with a long-term knee injury. Nelson Quiñones got injured in February while representing Colombia at the Conmbeol Pre-Olympic Tournament.
Houston are chasing a second-straight Audi MLS Cup Playoffs trip under head coach Ben Olsen. They're currently seventh in the Western Conference (40 points) with eight matches to go.
