Almeria coach Hugo Sanchez admits Argentine striker Esteban Solari is likely to leave in January.

Alfonso Garcia, the Almeria president, has already announced plans of cutting squad numbers during the winter market and Solari is a prime candidate to be shown the door.

Sanchez explained: "Solari has been shown in other leagues he is a great footballer. He has scored goals in all the places he has been, but it is the coach who selects the team.

"We must find a solution to this issue."
