Last updated : 10 March 2004 By Site Editor
The former Celta Vigo and Spanish Under 21 star limped out of the match after scoring just before half time yesterday and after asessing the damage to his hamstring today, it has been confirmed by Town boss Joe Royle he will miss the next three weeks.

"There must be something that Pablo doesn't like about Pride Park after picking up another hamstring problem there." he told the Official Club Website.

"It looks like he will be out for two to three weeks and it's a blow for us and the lad as well.He scored early on for the reserves and was looking sharp in the game and everything was going well.

"He was looking back to somewhere near the old Pablo and that was the idea of the exercise but sadly he has ended up with the hamstring injury."
