Knee surgery for Obradovic

Real Zaragoza are likely to be without Ivan Obradovic until April after the Serbia international underwent knee surgery in Germany.

The left-back, 24, was successfully operated on in Augsburg on Monday to repair a partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Zaragoza confirmed in a statement that the estimated period of recovery for Obradovic is six months. He has made just one Primera Division appearance for Zaragoza this season.
