Defender Jose Maria Lacruz will not be able to play for 6 months due to a serious knee injury.
The 26-year-old footballer suffered the injury in last week's Spanish championship match against eleven. After detailed health examinations, it was revealed that Lacruz will be out for half a year. This news greatly upset the "Athletic" team, as they intend to compete in the UEFA Cup next season.
Currently, the team from Bilbao city is in 5th place in the Spanish championship ("La Liga").
