Barnet striker Giuliano Grazioli has had keyhole surgery on his right knee. The 32-year-old will miss the start of the season with because of the problem which will rule him out for at least four weeks.
A scan showed Grazioli needed the minor surgery to release soft tissue in his kneecap on an injury suffered while out running during the close season.
Grazioli told Barnet's website: "It's a niggle and disappointing I'm missing out on the start of the programme."
