Spain's national team and club defender Vicente, in Sunday's 6th round of the Spanish "La Liga" league match against Vigo's "Celta", which his team lost 3-2 after a tough battle, received a blow to his left shin, but hopes to join the team's training already in the middle of next week.
The 25-year-old Spaniard will most likely miss Wednesday's UEFA Champions League match against Shakhtar Donetsk at home, but he may return to the lineup next Sunday when Valencia will face Osasuna at home in the 7th round of the Spanish championship.
"It wasn't as serious as I initially thought. It happened on the same shin that was already operated on," Vicente's words were quoted by the newspaper "Marca" website. "I feel a little pain in that area, so before returning to the field, we'll have to see how the leg looks as the week goes by."
Currently, Valencia is the sole leader in Group D of the Champions League with six points. The Spanish team defeated the resistance of Olympiakos and Roma in fierce battles. In the national championship, despite the loss to Celta, the "bats" maintain the second position.
