Shoulder separation has Akers out three months.
Many believe Akers will retire from the U.S. national team after the Olympics. But I am confident that the recovery will go quickly. I am shooting to return to the team as soon as possible and be fit and ready for the Olympics. Akers underwent yesterday an MRI which found no damage to the bone, cartilage and rotator cuff in the right shoulder, which was positive news. Had there been injuries to those areas, the rehabilitation likely would have taken longer.
