Houston Dynamo defender/midfielder Geoff Cameron will be sidelined for the remainder of the season after rupturing his posterior cruciate ligament.

The 24-year old sustained the injury in the clash with Chicago Fire on the weekend and will undergo surgery later this week.

Dynamo chief operating officer Chris Canetti said the injury was a major blow to the club but had full faith the 2009 MLS All-Star would make a full recovery.

"We are very disappointed to lose an All-Star calibre player, and we feel especially bad for Geoff and the timing of this injury," said Canetti. "We are confident he will come back healthy and be an impact player for us again next season."
