Lemar out with injury until after the break

French midfielder suffered a mild adductor injury against Valencia; expected to return after the international break for the Levante match on the 22nd.

Thomas Lemar picked up a mild adductor injury in the first half of Elche's 0-1 defeat to Valencia last Sunday and was substituted. Medical tests have confirmed the injury is minor. Lemar will miss Sunday's home fixture against Betis at the Martínez Valero but is expected to be available for Elche's match against Levante on the 22nd, after the upcoming international break. The club will monitor his recovery over the coming days, though initial prognosis is positive.
