UEFA Champions League: Real Sociedad will be without left-back Aihen Munoz for the rest of the season after the club confirmed he suffered a torn cruciate ligament in its 1-0 win away to Celta Vigo on Saturday night.

The defender had to leave the pitch in the 39th minute of the game, and the tests carried out on Sunday confirmed he will be out of action until at least August.

"After tests carried out on our player Aihen Muñoz, he's been diagnosed with an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his left knee. The player will undergo surgery in the next few days. An obstacle you will overcome with hard work, commitment, and pride. We will be by your side. Stay strong, Aihen!," said the club in the statement.
