"Altidore has been affected by the toe problem for some time now," Xerez CD press officer Santi Garcia confirmed to YA. "We decided to operate to repair this problem." "The procedure will be done tonight. There is no definite timetable of a return but it could be about a month." Altidore, who despite the foot issue, scored four goals in last month's World Cup qualifiers has not made an appearance for the front-runners in the Segunda Division. Meanwhile, Xerez has also confirmed that they have made overtures to the American's representatives about extending the loan for next season. "We have had a meeting with Altidore and his agent about next year," Garcia offered. "At this time no decision has been made, but we have made it known that we'd like him here next season."
