Sporting Kansas City forward Khiry Shelton underwent successful surgery today to repair a high ankle sprain in his right ankle, the club has announced.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Kirk McCullough at the Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute. Shelton is expected to be sidelined for eight to 10 weeks.

In five seasons with Sporting, Shelton has tallied 15 goals and 17 assists in 138 competitive matches.

The club will then host the Philadelphia Union on March 2 in the first of 17 MLS home matches at Children's Mercy Park.
