Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano suffered an ankle injury on Sunday
that is likely to sideline him for the remainder of the Spanish
league season.
Fabiano sprained his left ankle during a 38th-minute scramble
in the 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid.
Sevilla says Fabiano will undergo scans on Monday to confirm
the severity of the sprain. The Brazil striker, who has 14 league
goals, is likely to miss the last three games but make the Copa del
Rey final against Atletico on May 19.
Fabiano is Brazil's starting striker going into the World Cup
after being part of his country's Copa America and Confederations
Cup triumphs.
Sevilla says striker Lautaro Acosta will only return next
season after suffering a leg injury.
