D.C. United defender Julius James had
shoulder surgery to repair the labrum in his left shoulder and will be out
three to four months.
The defender came to D.C. United on Aug. 14 via trade with the Houston Dynamo.
During his first season in D.C., James played in nine MLS matches, including
eight starts. In all competitions, James played in 14 matches, including 13

In United's final game of the season, an injured James scored his only goal of
the campaign off a header.
He was also called up by Trinidad and Tobago late in the season and played 90
minutes in a World Cup qualifying match against Costa Rica.
