Almeria attacker Luca Romero has avoided serious injury.

On-loan from Lazio, there were fears the youngster's season was over after he appeared to suffer a broken jaw last week against Celta Vigo. Romero was stretchered off after a collision with teammate Marc Pugill.

However, he avoided any fractures and only suffered some facial swelling in the end.

Romero returned to training yesterday and could face Sevilla this weekend.
