Alaves take an unexpected blow with Mikel Rodríguez
The injury to Mikel Rodríguez disrupts Deportivo Alavés' plans at a time when the team was starting to grow. The midfielder will need to undergo surgery after the extent of the problem in his right knee is confirmed.

The good start to the league campaign for the blue-and-white side is marked by a major setback. Mikel Rodríguez, one of the standout appearances at the start of the season, suffers a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will go under the knife in the coming days.
The injury occurred this Thursday during the morning session held in Ibaia. The player was unable to complete the training and left the session early, pending medical tests that ultimately confirmed the worst-case scenario for the Alavés camp.
A jolt at his best moment

MDRodríguez, 24, had arrived this summer from the Real Sociedad B and signed a contract until 2031. His adaptation was immediate: he started in two of the first three league matches and scored on his debut in LaLiga against Getafe.
Quique Sánchez Flores therefore loses a midfielder who was starting to earn his place in the team. The setback comes with Alavés installed in the top half after collecting seven points from nine available and just before Sunday's derby against Osasuna. Toni Martínez is also continuing with niggles.
The recovery period for this type of injury is usually between six and nine months, although the final timeline will depend on how the player progresses after surgery. Mikel Rodríguez will miss the rest of the season.
