Wolves full-back Castro suffers knee injury on Spain duty
LAS PALMAS, Spain, Nov 19, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Wolves full-back Jonny Castro
suffered a potentially serious knee ligament injury while playing for Spain
in a friendly against Bosnia on Sunday.
The national team’s medical staff said he would undergo further tests to
determine the severity of the injury.
The 24-year-old had to be replaced early in the second half in Las Palmas
after colliding with an opponent, before leaving the stadium on crutches.
Castro has impressed since joining Wolves on a season-long loan from
Atletico Madrid in July, starting all 12 Premier League matches and scoring
one goal.
He made his international debut for Spain last month and Sunday’s game was
only his second start for the 2010 world champions.
