The medical bulletin issued on Thursday afternoon by the Club’s medical services confirmed that the player has a grade 2 sprain of the internal lateral ligament of the right knee. He’ll be out of action for about the next four weeks so he’ll miss the last two games of the season against Mallorca and Murcia.
