FC Dallas released a statement today on starting goalkeeper Dario Sala's successful knee surgery. The operation was undertaken to remove part of a torn medial meniscus in his left knee. Sala will be out for at least 4-6 weeks. 

Sala started and made three saves in the FC Dallas' season-opening loss to Chicago on Saturday, March 21.

Last year, the 34-year-old posted a career-high seven shutouts while matching his career-best of 28 starts, but the team fell short of making Major League Soccer's playoffs.

Backup goalkeeper Ray Burse will be given the nod in place of Sala, as young goalkeeper Josh Lambo, only 19, is still considered too inexperienced for the starter's role.
