The medical tests carried out on Iván López just now have confirmed that the player is suffering from cruciate ligament rupture in his left knee. The defender suffered the injury during the morning training session which started at 10.30am at Buñol Training Ground. The defender had just returned to the group after recovering from a muscle injury which occurred during the clash with Real Madrid at the beginning of September in the Bernabéu.
Iván had to abandon the training session showing obvious signs of pain, which gave cause for concern. The resonance scan, which was performed urgently, has confirmed the severity of the injury.
Today decisions will be made regarding when and where he will be operated on and the surgeon who will perform the operation.
