Giuseppe Rossi will be out of action for up to seven months after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Celta Vigo's LaLiga defeat at the hands of Eibar.
The 30-year-old attacker featured from the start in Sunday's 2-0 loss at Balaidos but was forced off 10 minutes before half-time.
"Medical tests have revealed that Giuseppe Rossi has suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee," a statement on the club's website reads.
"The player will need to undergo surgery and will be out of action for a minimum of six months.
"Celta wish Rossi a speedy recovery."

Rossi has been plagued by injury throughout his career, with the former Manchester United forward undergoing a number of operations on his right knee over the past few years.
The former Italy international joined Celta on a one-year loan deal from Fiorentina ahead of the 2016-17 campaign and has scored four times in 18 LaLiga outings.
