Valencia midfielder Ever Banega
will be out for four to six weeks with twisted ligaments in his
right knee, the Spanish club said on Wednesday.
The Argentine playmaker was carried off on a stretcher in
the first half of Tuesday's 3-1 Champions League victory at home
to Bayer Leverkusen.
The injury is a further blow to Valencia coach Unai Emery
after creative midfielder Sergio Canales was last week ruled out
for three to six months because of a serious knee injury.
Valencia are third in Group E, one point behind Leverkusen
and three adrift of leaders Chelsea with two matches left.
