Oliveira ruled out for Betis

Tuesday, November 15, 2005

Real Betis Balompié's Brazil forward Ricardo Oliveira is likely to miss the rest of the season after tests revealed he has torn knee ligaments.

Worse than anticipated
The 25-year-old had initially been diagnosed with a less serious fracture to the knee and strained ligaments, but Oliveira is now expected to be sidelined for six months after examinations showed a tear to the cruciate ligament and a partial tear to the lateral ligament. The former Valencia CF attacker sustained the injury in Betis's 1-0 UEFA Champions League win against Chelsea FC on 1 November.
