Spain's king to undergo foot surgery (AP)

MADRID ? A spokesman says Spain's King Juan Carlos is to undergo minor surgery to repair Achilles tendon damage he suffered since successful knee replacement surgery.

The operation on his left heel will be the 73-year-old head of state's third since May 2010, when he had a benign tumor removed from a lung. In June the king received titanium implants in his right knee, which sparked concern over his overall health.

The royal spokesman says the king will not require a general anesthetic and will be treated sometime next week by the same team that operated on his right knee.

The spokesman spoke Friday on condition of anonymity in keeping with royal household rules.
