MADRID, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- Sevilla has suffered a major injury setback with the news that winger Alfon Gonzalez has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

The 27-year-old suffered the injury during training on Thursday and was immediately taken to a medical center, where an MRI scan confirmed the seriousness of the problem.

The forward, who has previously played for Villarreal and Celta Vigo, will undergo surgery in the coming days. Sevilla has not yet announced an official recovery timetable but the injury is expected to rule him out for the remainder of the 2026-27 campaign. ■
