Armenia national team midfielder Edgar Sevikyan suffered an injury during the 14th round of Spain's Segunda División, as his club Ceuta fell to a 2-0 away defeat against Tenerife.
The 24-year-old Armenian footballer started the match but was forced to leave the pitch in the 66th minute. He was replaced by Gabriel Okoro.
According to the official match report on La Liga's website, Sevikyan's substitution was due to an injury. The nature of the injury and the expected recovery timeline have not yet been announced.
Sevikyan had initially been with the Armenia national team as they prepared for their final UEFA Nations League group-stage match against Latvia. However, Ceuta's management requested permission from the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) for the player to return to his club and take part in the match against Tenerife.
The FFA approved the Spanish club's request, allowing Sevikyan to feature in the Segunda División fixture.
The match ended in a 2-0 victory for Tenerife, with Nacho Gil scoring in the 40th minute and Nil Virek adding a second goal in the 86th minute.
Sevikyan's availability for Ceuta's upcoming matches will now depend on the results of medical examinations and the severity of his injury.
