(Sports Network) - The New York Red Bulls announced on Monday that forward John Wolyniec and defender Kevin Goldthwaite will undergo season- ending surgeries this week.
Wolyniec will undergo right ankle surgery on Tuesday to remove two bone chips, while Goldthwaite is having problems with his left adductor and will have surgery to repair the issue on Wednesday.
Wolyniec sustained the injury after scoring a goal in New York's 1-1 draw against the New England Revolution on September 18, and he is expected to miss six weeks.
Second all-time in club history in games played with 138, Wolyniec, 32, has scored two goals and added one assist in 20 appearances - eight of which were starts - this season.
Goldthwaite, 26, was acquired from Toronto FC in the middle of the 2007 season and has started 17 games for the Red Bulls in 2009. He is expected to be out for three to eight weeks.
