Orbaiz blow for Bilbao

Felix Sarriugarte has been rocked by another injury setback at Athletic Bilbao.

Felix Sarriugarte has been rocked by yet another injury setback to his midfield at struggling Athletic Bilbao.

The fourth from bottom Basque country side have already lost Tiko to a cruciate ligament injury for the rest of the season.

But team-mate Pablo Orbaiz has now followed him into the treatment room with ligament damage to his left knee as well.

The 27-year-old sustained the problem in Sunday's first win of the season away at Gimnastic in Tarragona.

He has been ruled out for a minimum four weeks and will miss the games at home to Celta Vigo and Racing Santander and the away ties at Osasuna and Valencia.
