Sevilla have been dealt an early injury blow this season with the news that defender Nico Pareja has been ruled out for two months.
The summer arrival on loan from Spartak Moscow was forced off at half-time of his League debut for Los Nervionenses injured.
Tests today confirmed by the club have revealed that the player has suffered an arm injury and that scans have specifically picked up a fracture of the humerus bone.
Sevilla report through a statement that the Argentine will face a recovery period of eight weeks, but that his prognosis is good as there is ‘no displacement and the tendon is preserved’.
