The Málaga player has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will therefore be out for a considerable length of time.

Málaga CF will be without Fernando Tissone for the rest of the season. The Argentinian midfielder, who was in the midst of his first season with the Andalusian side, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, according to a statement on the club's official website.

Tissone, who has played 26 matches with the team managed by Bernd Schuster, withdrew from training on Wednesday and, after undergoing medical tests, the extent of the injury has been confirmed and he will be sidelined for a considerable length of time.

In addition, Málaga confirmed that "the time and place of his operation" will be decided in the near future.
