Portland Timbers goalkeeper Jeff Attinella has undergone surgery to repair an anterior labrum tear in his right shoulder, the club announced Monday.

Attinella will miss the remainder of the 2019 season. The Timbers have placed Attinella on the Season-Ending Injury List.

The 30-year-old will conduct his rehabilitation with the Timbers sports medicine staff at Providence Park and at the Providence Sports Care Center.

Attinella claimed the starting role and developed into a fan favorite last season, making 22 starts, recording seven shutouts and helping Portland make a run to the 2018 MLS Cup Final. Attinella entered the 2019 season as Portland’s starter, but ended up losing the starting position to Steve Clark.
