New York Red Bulls goalkeeper A.J. Marcucci sustained a ruptured ACL in his left knee during the team's U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal match against the Philadelphia Union, the team announced Friday.

The Red Bulls said surgery will be performed later on Marcucci. He suffered the injury Wednesday in his team's 3-2 loss.

Fellow goalkeeper Carlos Coronel has started all 24 matches in which he has played this season for New York (10-10-6, 36 points), which hosts Philadelphia (15-5-6, 51 points) on Saturday in Harrison, N.J., in MLS play.

Marcucci, 26, has made seven appearances across all competitions this season, including two starts in MLS matches.
