Levante left-back Asier del Horno has been ruled out for between six and eight weeks with a calf injury.

The 30-year-old underwent tests this morning after suffering discomfort which caused him to be substituted in the second half of Saturday's 5-0 Primera Division defeat at Barcelona.

A club statement on www.levanteud.com read: "The Levante medical team have confirmed the worst predictions and Asier del Horno will be out of action for between six and eight weeks with a micro tear in the soleus of his left leg."
