Fernando Llorente might be feeling joyous after his Spain goal last night but Athletic Bilbao are probably not so happy.

It has been revealed today that the striker was injured during the game and is now likely to miss his club's clash with Recreativo Huelva this weekend.

Marca reports that the Basque has suffered an injury to his right leg, and is almost certain to miss the game at San Mames.

Tests carried out this afternoon confirmed that his "period of absence will depend on his evolution in the next few days," and that will be a blow to Athletic Bilbao.

It will also be frustrating to the striker who, after a slow start to the season, had started to find some good form lately.

The goal he scored last night against England was his first in a Spain shirt and he declared today how important it was for him.

Spain ran out 2-0 winners at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan after David Villa had put them ahead in the first-half.

The win keeps their undefeated record intact but means that Fabio Capello has lost his as England manager.

If Llorente cannot make it back for the game with Recreativo then he will be hoping to play in the next match against Getafe.
