Mauro Furtado taken off by ambulance at Girona after knee blow
The 18-year-old defender left Wednesday's training with his knee immobilised. More tests are scheduled for Thursday, and the club is giving no timeline yet.
Mauro Furtado, an 18-year-old Portuguese defender, left Wednesday's training session at the La Massana Ciutat Esportiva of Girona by ambulance after a heavy knock to the knee. He went off with the joint immobilised and clearly in pain, according to Mundo Deportivo, which cites L'Esportiu.
Initial checks have not produced a definitive diagnosis, since the pain makes an accurate assessment difficult. Medical staff will run further tests on Thursday, and the club is avoiding any estimate of recovery time.
Furtado joined from Benfica this summer and had started to edge closer to the first team. He made his official debut in the Copa del Rey against Cuarte de Huerva under Quique Ălvarez. He now adds to the absences of Javier Boñar, Bryan Gil and Jastin GarcĂa.
