Celta forward Iago Aspas will be sidelined for approximately four weeks due to an injury sustained in the 1-1 draw against Malaga.

Operativ Media reports that the player underwent an MRI scan following Sunday's match at the Balaidos Stadium. The scan revealed a grade one tear in the rectus femoris muscle of his left thigh.

The 39-year-old forward has already begun his rehabilitation and is receiving appropriate treatment under the supervision of the club's medical staff.

The exact timeframe for Aspas's return to training and matches will depend on his recovery progress.

The player has scored one goal in six matches for Celta this season.
