Colorado Rapids goalkeeper Zack Steffen underwent right knee surgery and will miss four to six weeks, the team announced Tuesday.

The injury puts Steffen out of the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup. He sustained the injury during a practice with the U.S. national team last week.

The surgery repaired Steffen's right medial meniscus.

Steffen, 30, has made 30 career appearances for USMNT.

Steffen has not played for the Rapids since May 14 against San Diego FC. Nicolas Hansen has filled in over the past four matches and the Rapids have two wins and two losses.

Steffen is in his second season with the Rapids. In 11 starts in 2025, he has allowed 16 goals.

The Rapids (6-7-4, 22 points) are in ninth place in the MLS Western Conference heading into their game Saturday at home against Orlando, S.C.
