Emilio Sánchez out for the next two games

According to the official Deportivo Alavés website, Emilio Sánchez has torn fibres in his right hamstring, meaning he will be out of action for the next two matches. This means that the Basque side’s central midfielder will miss both of his team’s remaining games in Liga Adelante before the Christmas break against CD Lugo and SD Eibar.

The 28 year-old had to be substituted last time out against RC Deportivo La Coruña. He joins Juanma and Gorka Laborda, who continue to recover from their respective injuries, on the absentee list.
