Season over for Etxeberria

Athletic Bilbao's Joseba Etxeberria is set to miss the last three games of the season.

Athletic Bilbao winger Joseba Etxeberria is set to miss the final three games of the Spanish season through injury.

The Spain international looks to have torn a hamstring and now faces up to three or four weeks on the sidelines.

Etxeberria sustained the problem in his side's Copa del Rey semi-final defeat to Real Btis on Wednesday.

"Apparently he has a muscular problem in his right hamstring," Bilbao doctor Paco Angulo stated.

"We suspect he has torn the muscle and will probably have a period of around three to four weeks out."

Etxeberria will now sit out the forthcoming league games against Mallorca, Numancia and Espanyol.
