MADRID - Villarreal striker Joseba
Llorente has torn a thigh muscle and will be out of action for a
month, the Primera Liga club said on Monday.
The 28-year-old, who picked up the injury during Sunday's
2-2 draw in Malaga, is their top scorer with six in the league
and three in Europe.
He will miss the Champions League Group E top-of-the-table
clash with Manchester United at home on November 25, and will be a
doubt for their final group match away to Celtic next month.
Villarreal also said midfielder Sebastian Eguren would be
unable to represent Uruguay for Wednesday's international
friendly against France, after requiring 12-14 stitches to a
head wound picked up in the Malaga match.
