SECAUCUS, NJ (Monday, Oct. 5, 2009) - The New York Red Bulls announced today that forward John Wolyniec and defender Kevin Goldthwaite will undergo season-ending surgeries this week.

Wolyniec will undergo right ankle surgery Tuesday, Oct. 6, to remove two bone chips. The procedure will be performed by Dr. David Levine at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, NY. Wolyniec sustained the injury after scoring a goal-tying in New York's 1-1 draw against the New England Revolution on Sept. 18. He is expected to miss six weeks. Second all-time in club history in games played with 138, Wolyniec, 32, has scored two goals and an assist in 20 appearances - eight of which were starts - this season.

Goldthwaite will have a left adductor release procedure performed by Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia, PA, this Wednesday, Oct. 7. His recovery time is expected to be three to eight weeks. Goldthwaite, 26, was acquired from Toronto FC in the middle of the 2007 season and has started in 17 games for the Red Bulls in 2009. He was New York's 2008 Defender of the Year after playing in a career-high 28 games and tallying two goals and two assists.

The Red Bulls complete a three-game road swing when they take on Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium at 10:00 PM ET on Wednesday, Oct. 14 (TV: ESPN2, ESPN Deportes; Radio: WADO 1280 AM).
