Spartak’s Welliton faces long-term lay-off, will require collarbone surgery

Spartak Moscow striker Welliton’s injury appears to be more serious than originally suspected, the club’s official website informs.

According to the medics, the Brazilian forward tore his acromioclavicular joint in a clash with CSKA Moscow’s Vasily Berezutsky and will require surgery.

The latest reports from the Red-Whites’ camp indicate the player will be out for at least a month, but in the worst-case scenario could miss the rest of the season.
