United States National Team right back Steve Cherundolo will need surgery to repair an injured hip. He is expected to miss the rest of the season with Hannover 96 and likely won't be back with club or country until late in the summer. Cherundolo attempted to play through his hip issue, but in recent weeks it became clear that surgery was the only realistic option.
Meanwhile, striker Jozy Altidore has had a procedure on an injured toenail that will require three to four weeks of recovery. Altidore has yet to appear for Spanish second division club Xerez.
