Javi Rodriguez Injury: Suffers nose injury

Rodriguez suffered nasal trauma and a possible fractured nasal bone in a friendly, according to his club.

Rodriguez was taken off early in a friendly Tuesday, with the defender heading to the sidelines after a blow to the face that has now been confirmed as multiple nose injuries. Unfortunately, this could keep him out for some time, likely wearing a mask when he returns to the field. He should still recover in time for the opening match of the season, which is good news for the club as he is a regular starter, with Carlos Domingues as a possible replacement if his recovery takes longer.
