Jay Ayres surgery successful
The San Jose Earthquakes announced Friday that defender Jay Ayres underwent successful surgery to repair a facial fracture on Thursday, May 8. Ayres is expected to be sidelined for eight weeks. Dr. Peter Lorenz performed the surgery on Ayres.
Ayres and defender Ryan Cochrane were involved in a collision during the Quakes U.S. Open Cup game on April 30 at Real Salt Lake. The pair went for a head ball and collided, leaving both players with concussions and Ayres with a facial fracture.

Yallop not ready to make changes
If the San Jose Earthquakes attack had a theme song, Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue" would probably suffice, given their paltry production of two goals in five games.
Yet as the Quakes prepare to play host the Columbus Crew this Saturday, manager Frank Yallop is also following Dylan's lead. Rather than make wholesale changes, his plans are to "keep on keepin' on," both in terms of his lineup and tactics.
