Santa sidelined
Last updated at 22:52pm on 09.10.07Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz is facing six weeks out because of a tendinitis problem.
Santa Cruz, 26, will miss Paraguay's next two World Cup qualifiers due to the setback he suffered in Sunday's win over Birmingham at Ewood Park.
Ruled out: Santa Cruz
A statement from the Paraguay FA said: "Santa Cruz was injured in the match he played for Blackburn last weekend and it is very possible that he will need surgery."
That would leave the £3.8million striker, who has scored five goals in 12 games for Rovers, struggling to be fit for Blackburn's next five games.
