FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Revolution today announced that captain Steve Ralston and forward Taylor Twellman will miss extended time because of injuries suffered last week.

Ralston, 33, suffered a dislocated left shoulder following a tackle in the 61st minute team's season-opening 3-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday, March 29. He will undergo further tests on his shoulder on Wednesday, April 2, to fully determine the extent of his injury and his expected recovery period.

Twellman, 28, will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Wednesday, April 2, after suffering a tear of his medial meniscus in training.

Twellman is expected to miss at least six weeks, but a full prognosis will be made following the surgery.
