D.C. United right-back Chris Korb will miss the remainder of the season with torn ACL in his right knee, according to a Washington Post report.
The MLS team tweeted news of the 27-year-old defender's injury earlier Monday but has not officially announced the timetable of his return.

"I just want to be healthy again, whenever that comes," Korb told the Washington Post. "As long as I am healthy again, I will be happy. A month in, two months in, I'm hoping to be ready to go next year."
The five-year veteran, who started 17 of 26 games for first-place United this season, was injured late in the team's 3-1 loss to New York City FC on Thursday.
"It was just a freak thing, but as soon as it happened, I kind of knew," he said.
