Cicinho seriously injured v Betis
It was minute 28 of the away match against Betis when Cicinho hit the ground after deflecting a pass and started making clear signs of extreme pain. Although it orginally looked like it might have been the ball that hit him, it was obvious seconds later that it was something far more serious. The first medical tests performed on-site by Doctor Hernández confirm our worst fears as he suspects that the fullback might have acutely torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of his right knee. The Brazilian player will undergo new tests and scans on Sunday to determine the extent and seriousness of the injury and check if this is the only knee injury he sustained this evening. If the initial diagnosis is confirmed, the player is set for a six-to-eight month recovery period.
Meanwhile, Roberto Carlos' left sinus had to be stitched up after sustaining an elbow blow from Betis defender Juanito inside the box of the Whites. The Madridista fullback had to leave the pitch on the mobile stretcher one minute before the final whistle because he was getting dizzy.
