Valladolid have been dealt an injury blow with the news that goalkeeper Jacobo will be out of action for at least two months after undergoing emergency surgery on Monday night.
The Spanish shot-stopper was feeling unwell throughout Monday and was rushed to hospital by club doctors where he was swiftly operated on to remove a blockage in his intestines.
Valladolid have confirmed Jacobo will remain in hospital for a week and will then be out of action for two months.
The 26-year-old, who suffered a knee injury in November, started the first seven games of the season before losing his place to Justo Villar.
It is the second serious injury at the club in the past few days after Sisi had an operation on a fissure in his fibula, which is set to sideline him until the end of March.
