Malaga suffer Juanmi blow

Malaga have received a big blow before their game with Real Madrid on Saturday with the news that striker Juanmi could be out for two months.

The 21-year-old suffered a fractured arm following a clash in training and is set to undergo an operation on Monday, which will effectively rule him out for between six and eight weeks.

It is a particular setback for a player who has been showing the best form of his career so far this season, having notched three goals in the opening 10 La Liga games and helping his team into the European places.

Juanmi joins Nordin Amrabat on the sidelines after the Moroccan international tore a thigh muscle playing for his country last week, while Ignacio Camacho will also miss the Madrid game through suspension after picking up a yellow card in the 3-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid last weekend.
