He stated, "Niclas is out, he is not ready. He is not working with us and I think he will be out for a long time, unfortunately.

"Tomorrow we will have to check other aspects."

Going into more detail about the physical problem, Lopetegui said: "He has a small injury that is getting more complicated step by step. With the new treatment, he will have to stay out for the next two or three weeks, but I don't know exactly. It depends on how he responds to the treatment."
