Getafe midfielder Fabio Celestini has suffered an injury blow.

The Switzerland international hurt his left shoulder during the 2-1 defeat to Deportivo La Coruna over the weekend.

Surgery is required on the problem this week in Madrid and doctors estimate that Celestini will be missing for at least five matches.

The midfield man is set to sit out the games against Barcelona, Real Sociedad, Osasuna, Malaga and Real Madrid.

It represents another blow for Celestini, who was out for a month in February with a hamstring problem suffered in the match against Alaves.

The player is desperate to play his part in Getafe's bid to end the season impressively.
