Deportivo wait on Capdevila
Tuesday, 9 November 2004
RC Deportivo La Coru?a defender Joan Capdevila may miss the Matchday 5 trip
to Olympiacos CFP with a muscle tear.

Muscle tear
The 26-year-old left-back played the full 90 minutes of Saturday's 2-1 defeat
at FC Barcelona but an MRI scan conducted today has detected a small tear to
his right thigh muscle. Deportivo's head of medical services, César Cobián,
estimates that Capdevila will be sidelined for the next two weeks while the
tear heals.

Remote chance
The player has a remote chance of recovering in time for Depor's visit to
Group A leaders Olympiacos on 23 November. The Galician side are in desperate
need of a win to stay alive in the competition, as with two points from their
first four matches, they are rooted to the bottom of the table.
