La Real released a statement on their website Wednesday, announcing the injury and explaining a few particulars about the plan going forward for Granero’s recovery.
Granero underwent an MRI on Wednesday morning and discovered a ruptured ACL and damage to the meniscus in his right knee, according to the club’s release. He now faces surgery and rehab that very well could keep him out the better part of the 2013-14 season.
The 26-year-old midfielder is on loan form Queens Park Rangers.
