César Gelabert suffers torn meniscus: two months out for Sporting
An MRI confirms a partial tear of the inner meniscus in his right knee, keeping the Real Madrid academy product out for about two months.
Midfielder César Gelabert has a partial tear of the inner meniscus in his right knee, according to the MRI scan carried out this Monday. The injury will keep him off the pitch for roughly two months of competition.
The Real Madrid academy product felt discomfort in the knee during training before the trip to Ceuta and missed the Sporting win against José Juan Romero's side. Coach Nicolás Larcamón had said he hoped to have him available as soon as possible.
With this setback, Sporting de Gijón will continue without their number 10 for that period, while they fight for a place near the top of the Segunda División table.
