Anderlecht's Biglia out with shoulder injury

Anderlecht says its Argentina midfielder Lucas Biglia has dislocated his shoulder and will probably miss the Copa America.

Biglia fell heavily on his shoulder in a Belgian league playoff match against FC Brugge late Sunday, with his upper arm popping out of the shoulder socket. Anderlecht coach Ariel Jacobs said the 25-year-old midfielder will be out for the rest of the season ''and most likely out of the Copa America,'' which starts on July 1 in Argentina.

Biglia made his international debut in a 2-1 friendly win over Portugal in February and had been hoping to establish himself in the side during the Copa.
