Atletico Madrid forward Borja Garces faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after rupturing the ligament in his right knee, the club have confirmed.

The 19-year-old is primarily playing for the club’s B team but has made one top flight appearance for Los Rojiblancos this season, scoring a late equaliser against Eibar back in September.
