Bryan Zaragoza OUT for a month due to a broken 5th metatarsal

Bryan Zaragoza suffers a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot, an injury sustained against Sevilla that will keep him out of action for at least a month. The player from Malaga limped off the Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium after being hit on his right foot by rival defender Kike Salas.

Medical tests on Tuesday morning have determined the extent of the injury. "He will return to Pamplona to begin his recovery process," the Spanish club's statement said.

It is the same injury that has kept Iker Munoz out of the squad for more than two months. We will have to follow Bryan's evolution, but Vicente Moreno will have to make up for the absence of one of the most influential players in his squad.

Kike Barja, who is now recovered, seems the natural choice to replace the winger, with other options such as Ruben Garcia, Moi Gomez or Bretones, who already knows what it is like to play on the left flank.
