Sevilla goalkeeper Beto out for around three months after shoulder injury

SEVILLE, Spain -- Sevilla say goalkeeper Antonio "Beto" Bastos will be sidelined for two to three months after injuring his shoulder.

The Portugal international dislocated his left shoulder when he collided with Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema during the first half of Wednesday's Spanish La Liga match and had to be carried off. Madrid went on to win 2-1.

Sevilla said in a statement that their medical staff are "still studying (the injury), although it is likely the injury will require surgery, and, consequently, around 10 weeks of recovery."

Beto will be replaced by 21-year-old Sergio Rico as Sevilla look to build on their position in fourth place in the league. They have also reached the knockout rounds of the Europa League.
