Flyers` Forsberg undergoes ankle surgery

Philadelphia Flyers forward Peter Forsberg underwent surgery Monday on his right ankle.
'Actually it went very well,' Philadelphia Strength and Conditioning Coach Jim McCrossin said. 'Dr. (Robert) Anderson [Forsberg`s surgeon]...was very, very pleased with how the entire procedure went.
'Obviously Peter had to have some bones shifted in his foot to get proper alignment and that went very well,' McCrossin said. 'Then, he had the ligaments that he tore strengthened.'
Forsberg also had two bursas removed, one on the inside of the ankle and one on the outside. He is still due for surgery on the other ankle.
The doctors estimate Forsberg`s surgery on his left ankle will take place in six weeks, depending on how the bones heal. His recovery should be complete by early January.
Forsberg appeared in 60 games in the 2005-2006 season. He scored 19 goals with 56 assists for 75 points.
