David Navarro - Valencia (Firo)
Tests today confirmed that the injury suffered by Valencia's David Navarro against Real Valladolid in the fifth minute of the match this past weekend is a muscle tear, an injury which will keep the player out for three weeks.

According to AS, Navarro will miss the next three Liga matches against Sporting Gijon, Getafe, and Atletico Madrid, along with both the first and second leg Europa League ties with Belgian side Brugge.

Valencia midfielder David Albelda was also subjected to medical exams in the wake of his withdrawal from the match due to injury. The Spanish midfielder's knock is minor though and it is likely that he will be able to recover in time for the next match.
