After falling victim to a season-ending groin injury during a game against Mexico last year, Tim Howard will look to bounce back to start the 2017 season for the Colorado Rapids.
Last season, Howard compiled a record of 6-3-8 with the Rapids, with seven clean sheets, good for the ninth-most clean sheets in the MLS. Despite only playing half of the season, Howard was a finalist for the MLS goalkeeper of the year.
Howard is the greatest American goalkeeper of all time, but is the most significant injury that he has faced in his entire career, and he's getting up there at 37 years old.
Howard had surgery on November 17. Unfortunately for the Rapids, he will not be available for the season opener against the New England Revolution on March 4.
