Misfortune has struck Giuseppe Rossi again as the on-loan Celta Vigo attacker faces another lengthy spell on the sidelines due to injury.
Giuseppe Rossi will be out of action for up to seven months after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Celta Vigo's La Liga defeat at the hands of Eibar.
The 30-year-old attacker featured from the start in Sunday's 2-0 loss at Balaidos but was forced off 10 minutes before half-time.
He underwent a series of tests to determine the extent of the injury and Celta announced on Monday he will be require an operation and be sidelined for at least six months.
