Real Oviedo right back Lucas Ahijado was forced off during the first half of Monday's match against CD Tenerife, after being on the receiving end of a forceful tackle.
The Oviedo-born defender has now undergone medical tests at Clínica Asturias, which have confirmed that he has suffered a severe sprain to his right ankle, with moderate swelling, which will keep him out of training and waiting to see how the injury develops. The player has now begun his recovery process, with the aim of getting back to full fitness as soon as possible.
