Morientes out with Thigh Injury

Fernando Morientes has picked up an injury whilst training with Spain for their game against Serbia tomorrow. Nando had scored for Spain at the weekend and was hoping to cement his place in the Spanish side. However this injury, believed to be a thigh strain, is likely to rule him out for a number of weeks.

This is a major blow for us as Rafa seemed set to give Moro a run in the team to get the type of match sharpness that he has not be able to demonstrate since his arrival.
