The Sevilla club of the Spanish "Primera" league is facing a shortage of players due to injuries, as two key players were forced out of the lineup during weekend matches. The attacking duo Fabrice Pancrate and Rafael Sobis suffered knee injuries, causing a real headache for the club's coach Luis Fernandez.

The 26-year-old striker F.Pancrate, on loan from the French league's bottom club "P.S.G", injured his right knee in the 2-0 defeat against Mallorca on Saturday and may miss the rest of the season. Doctors say it will take about three months for the player to recover.

Meanwhile, the 21-year-old Brazilian striker R.Sobis suffered a muscle injury in his right knee during the same match and will be out for six weeks. Due to this, the former "Porto Alegre" player did not travel to South America and could not help the Brazilian national team in the match against Chile.

These news have become a real headache for the head coach of Betis team, L.Fernandez, as the team is currently in 15th place in the country's championship and is fighting to avoid relegation from the top league, as the end of the season approaches.
