SEVILLA, Spain (AP) — Sevilla defender Javi Navarro will miss the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup because of an ankle injury.
Sevilla team doctor Adolfo Munoz said Tuesday that the Spain centerback will continue with light aerobic workout sessions and seek treatment from a specialist doctor in Barcelona.
Navarro has been playing with an injured right ankle since the end of last season, when Sevilla successfully defended its UEFA Cup and won its fourth Copa del Rey trophy.
Sevilla hosts Real Madrid on Aug. 11 in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, which pits the Copa del Rey holder against the Spanish league champion. The second leg is at Madrid on Aug. 19.
