Levante defender Ian Harte has undergone surgery in Valencia on his problematic foot.

Levante defender Ian Harte has undergone surgery in Valencia on his problematic foot.

Harte has suffered inflammation between the toes and although the injury is not new, doctors have decided to speed up the recuperation.

The Republic of Ireland international went under the knife on Monday and is likely to be out for the next three weeks.

Harte has not entered the plans of Levante coach Abel Resino in recent weeks and reports in Spain suggest he could leave in the summer.

Roy Keane is thought to be monitoring Harte's situation and could offer the 29-year-old a route back to England at Sunderland.
