VANCOUVER – The Vancouver Whitecaps say newly acquired striker Sergio Cordova will miss the next six to eight weeks with a hamstring strain.

The team says Cordova suffered the injury in the first half of Vancouver’s 1-1 road draw with the L.A. Galaxy on Saturday.

The ‘Caps (0-2-2) acquired the 25-year-old Venezuelan international from German Bundesliga side FC Augsburg on Feb. 20, and he’s since appeared in six games across all competitions for Vancouver.

Cordova signed a three-year designated player contract with the Whitecaps that includes a club option for the 2026 season.

The six-foot-two, 192-pound forward spent the 2022 season on loan with Major League Soccer’s Real Salt Lake where he led the team in scoring with 11 goals across 34 appearances.
