Celtic transfer target Raul Moro has suffered a fractured collarbone, putting a potential move to Glasgow in jeopardy.
The winger started for Real Valladolid in their 2-1 loss to Espanyol last night in La Liga but was stretchered off 57 minutes in.
Moro was brought down as he looked to cut inside from the left and landed nastily on his shoulder.
He has been ruled out for around three months, resultantly killing any hopes of a January transfer. Spanish outlet Marca reports he will have to undergo surgery, too, adding further insult to injury.
