### Long-term injuries
#### Víctor Pérez's broken fibula

    Out between: January 2013 – May 2013
In the morning training of 5 January 2013, Víctor Pérez broke the fibula in his right leg fortuitously, and at the evening he underwent surgery in the Hospital Sagrado Corazón by Dr. Rafael Ramos, chief of Real Valladolid's medical service. The estimated time for recovery of his injury is about four months approximately, so he would miss the remainder of the season.
