The Portland Timbers announced today that Jeff has undergone successful shoulder surgery to repair a anterior labrum tear in his right shoulder. This means the Timbers have put him on the season ending injury list.
That brings the Goalkeeping pool down to three players, Steve Clark, Kendall MacIntosh and Aljaz Ivacic. And the later has had is own injury problems on and off this season. I would suspect it’ll be Clark and Kendall MacIntosh, with Ivacic acting as the third goalkeeper.
Jeff lost the starting job earlier in the season to Steve Clark who has turned out to be having one hell of a season and looks very tough in goal and it looked as though Attinella was bound to be Clark’s understudy.
