No details disclosed
The 28-year-old was taken off four minutes from the end of Villarreal's 2-1 win. Although the club will not disclose details of the injury until after Álvarez has undergone a scan tomorrow, he will miss the UEFA Cup first round second-leg tie at Turkish side Trabzonspor next week. The first leg finished goalless.
Chance for Coloccini
Álvarez, who is likely to be replaced by Fabricio Coloccini, said: "It's another setback because we only have a small squad. I'll just have to work hard and try and recover as quickly as I can."
