Jury out on Jônatas fitness

Monday, 30 April 2007

RCD Espanyol midfielder Jônatas is a doubt for the UEFA Cup semi-final second leg at Werder Bremen after the Brazilian suffered a groin injury during Sunday's 3-1 defeat at Sevilla FC.

Late decision
Jônatas, used as a second-half substitute in the 3-0 first-leg triumph over Bremen, was injured early in the game in Seville and Espanyol will leave it as late as possible before deciding on his fitness for Thursday's match in Germany. The 24-year-old, signed last summer from CR Flamengo, has made 16 Primera División appearances for the Catalan club as well as four in the UEFA Cup.
