Typical Nihat out for another mounth

Manuel Pellegrini must be tearing his hair out watching Nihat Kahveci this season. The Turkish international has played just a handful of games for Villarreal, and has suffered from numerous injuries, with another one occurring recently.

This latest injury is again with his troubled right knee and will keep him out for a further four weeks, reports Marca.

Juan Albors, the club doctor, has revealed that it could have been just a two or three week lay-off, but they have made the decision to try and resolve the injury once and for all.

For that reason, he will not be available for around a month, but hopefully Pellegrini will be able to call on him again before the season finishes.

The injury problems are believed to have started back at the European Championships last year, and Nihat has repeatedly had to sit out first team action.
