Spanish club Levante will be without top scorer Juan Luis ''Juanlu'' Gomez for a lengthy spell after the Spanish player fractured his shin in Wednesday's 4-1 Copa del Rey victory over Deportivo La Coruna.
Juanlu rolled in agony after a hasty challenge, and medical scans revealed a fractured right fibula.
Levante says Juanlu will undergo surgery on Friday on an injury similar to Barcelona striker David Villa's, who is expected to be out for up to five months.
Juanlu has scored six goals in 14 appearances for the Valencia-based club.
