Spanish Liga club Valladolid said on Friday that German winger Patrick Ebert will be out of action for around six weeks with a thigh muscle injury.

Ebert, 25, tore a muscle in his left thigh in the 2-0 defeat of Zaragoza on January 19.

It is Ebert's third injury since joining Valladolid from Hertha Berlin six months ago. Nonetheless, he has looked impressive on the right wing, scoring five goals and helping Valladolid into comfortable 10th place.Author: Duncan Shaw
