Izzi- Torn ACL?

Over on VitalMX a poster who seems to know Rockstar Suzuki's Nico Izzi says that he was going under the knife today for an ACL surgery. Not sure if it's true or not but seems to be legit. If so, depending on what Izzi is having done, he could miss all of the SX season and be back for the outdoors if it's a reconstruction or maybe it's just a clean up inside there and he'll be fine when the east coast 250 series starts up. GuyB, the boss over there, goes on to mention something about Gareth Swanepol filling in on the team for Izzi while he's out. So I guess we'll wait and see if the Rockstar Suzuki guys decide to put out a PR about this or not, I'm guessing they're not and Izzi's fans will be left wondering what his status is going into Anaheim 1.
