Looks like O'Brian White's already uncertain future just got a little bit less clear. The Seattle Sounders forward has undergone a second surgery on his leg, again to repair an arterial blockage. He will remain at Virginia Mason hospital to recover before returning home.
White was removed from the disabled list on July 12, but has only appeared in one Reserve League match since then. Although no timetable was immediately given, this would seem to cast into doubt a return this season. Prior to his initial surgery to repair a blood clot, White was enjoying a solid season in which he had scored two goals and had two assists in seven matches.
The entire episode has seemed to baffle the Sounders and the physicians that have worked with White. The cause of the original blood clots was never officially revealed and it took White nearly three months to return from the initial surgery, which was back on April 27.

Sad
This is sounding like a career ender now. Really too bad as he had a lot of potential and seems like a great person.
Yes, really sad
Soccer is now a minor concern compared to him recovering his health to lead a normal life. Get well soon O’Brian.
You will hear us on Brougham, you will hear us on Occidental, you will hear us on King. Our yachts are all around you, there is no escape.
argh
I sure hope White can recover, and I hope the Sounders stick with him and do everything they can to help him (even if he can’t play soccer anymore).
Maybe they will turn this mystery into a 'House' episode
Only they will probably change the sport to something lame.
