Celta Vigo have confirmed a serious knee injury for Giuseppe Rossi.

Rossi suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament at the weekend.

"The medical examinations to which Giuseppe Rossi was subjected showed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left leg," the official statement read.

“It was an injury sustained during the match against Eibar. The player will require surgery and will be out for no less than six months."

Rossi is currently on loan from Fiorentina, and it was also only last weekend when he scored a hat-trick in La Liga against Las Palmas.
