Celta's Iago Aspas to be sidelined due to injury

Vigo (Spain), Dec 26 (IANS) Celta Vigo and Spain striker Iago Aspas is set to be sidelined for about four weeks due to a muscle injury on his right leg, his club announced on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old forward, who is the top Spanish scorer in La Liga this season with 10 goals, sustained the injury during Celta's last match in 2018 against Barcelona on Saturday, reports Efe.

 

"The player suffers a probable muscle tear in the internal calf of his right leg," the club said. "He will undergo an ultrasound scan in the next few days to find out the exact extent of the injury."

Celta's statement added: "If the existence of broken muscle fibres is confirmed, the period of absence will be around four weeks, according to the medical services of the club."

The Spanish international striker will, thus, miss at least the upcoming four matches against Athletic Club, Rayo Vallecano, Valencia and Real Valladolid.
