Cassano to have heart surgery

AC Milan striker Antonio Cassano will reportedly have heart surgery Friday.
The ANSA news agency says the procedure will be performed by Dr. Mario Carminati at the Maggiore hospital in Milan.
Milan announced Wednesday that Cassano has a cardiac anomaly that caused a brain problem due to impaired blood flow.
Cassano has been hospitalized since Saturday, when he was taken for tests after falling ill on the team plane following the team's 3-2 victory over Roma.
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has said Cassano could be out from four to six months.
