Roma captain Totti undergoes knee surgery
ROME: AS Roma says captain Francesco Totti has undergone surgery on his right knee.
The Serie A club said Monday it was not clear how long Totti would be sidelined for but reports said the playmaker might be out for a month.
Totti struggled with knee problems last season and has missed games during this season's Serie A campaign.
In April 2008 he partially tore his anterior cruciate ligament and underwent surgery on his right knee.
Roma said in a statement that Totti had arthroscopy surgery Monday and that "no other tears were found during the surgery."
The club said the 33-year-old player would begin rehabilitation immediately but it was unclear when he might be fit to play again.
Totti retired from international play after Italy won the 2006 World Cup. - AP
