Striker Altidore to undergo ankle surgery, will miss TFC’s final match

Toronto FC striker Jozy Altidore will undergo surgery Thursday to remove a bone fragment from his right ankle and will miss the team’s final game of the Major League Soccer season.

Toronto made the largely expected announcement on Monday. The 28-year-old missed much of this season because of foot surgery and came out of the two previous games early with an ankle injury.
