Sevilla's Diego Perotti will be sidelined for between five and seven weeks because of an injury sustained during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Xerez.

The Argentina winger asked to be substituted in the first half of the game after clutching his thigh when chasing the ball. The club said a scan on the injury was carried out Wednesday.

Midfielder Didier Zokora, another first-choice player who sustained a leg injury against Xerez, will be out for about two weeks.

The club sacked coach Manolo Jimenez after the draw.
