COLLINGWOOD star Dale Thomas will have ankle surgery a week after kicking a footy around Barcelona's landmarks to shoot an Adidas promotion.
Thomas and teammate Tyson Goldsack will have delayed starts to pre-season training after both required ankle surgery.
Goldsack was operated on this week. Thomas is booked in for surgery tomorrow.
Magpies football director Geoff Walsh said both players carried the injuries late in the 2012 season.
Doctors hoped they would recover with rest but have now determined surgery is required. They will be put on a rehabilitation program and join full training early next year.
Thomas has just returned from a promotional trip to Spain for Adidas with Melbourne Storm's Billy Slater. During the visit Thomas was filmed kicking a footy around the city's landmarks and doing a soccer challenge with star David Villa.
"The assessment at the end of the season was that a long spell from playing and training, a break, was going to have them all clear for the start of pre-season training," Walsh said.
"But they've come back and discovered, through training, that they're still being troubled. So we've decided to have them both operated on ASAP."

Thomas hurt his ankle against Carlton in Round 15, while Goldsack suffered his injury in Round 19.
Collingwood's full squad returns to training next Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Fremantle captain Matthew Pavlich had a "minor procedure" on his back in hospital today.
"At this stage we envisage that it will have little impact on Matthew's pre-season training and expect him to be right to play during the NAB Cup," Dockers football manager Chris Bond said.
