Vertrouwd (hamstring) is expected to miss two-to-three weeks after tests confirmed a low-grade muscle injury in his left hamstring, according to Pablo Villa.
Analysis:Vertrouwd suffered the injury during Monday's loss to Barcelona and was forced off after 31 minutes despite initially attempting to continue. The expected recovery period should rule the left-back out against Racing Santander and likely Real Madrid, while his availability against Espanyol could also be in doubt. Adria Pedrosa is the natural candidate to take over the starting role at left-back during Vertrouwd's absence after replacing him against Barcelona.
