Franco Israel

Undergoes shoulder surgery

Israel went under the knife to address a left shoulder injury, Torino announced.

Analysis: Israel lost the starting job early last season and had tried a conservative therapy, but the discomfort didn't go away, so he got the surgery in Barcelona. He'll be sidelined for several months, which will prevent him from transferring, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs. Torino are looking for another goalie to join Alberto Paleari and Diego Mascardi.
