Sevilla 'keeper Beto out for up to six weeks

Sevilla goalkeeper Beto will miss the start of his side's Champions League campaign after suffering knee ligament damage.

"The Portuguese suffered a lateral ligament sprain in his right knee, according to the club's medical team," Sevilla said in a statement on Sunday.

"The estimated period of time out is between four and six weeks."

Sevilla open their Champions League campaign at home to Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday.

The Andalusians are already without the defensive trio of Adil Rami, Nico Pareja and Daniel Carrico due to long-term injuries.

Unai Emery's men are still searching for their first win of the campaign after taking two points from their first three La Liga games and losing the UEFA Super Cup final 5-4 to Barcelona last month.
