Deals with parameniscitis in right knee

Vargas has been diagnosed with parameniscitis in his right knee, an inflammation around the periphery of the meniscus often linked to overuse or a small tear, according to Candela Vazquez of ABC.

Analysis: Vargas will miss the upcoming match against Espanyol, and it remains to be seen whether he can return before the international break. His setback comes not long after his move to Olympiacos collapsed and he returned to full training with Sevilla, and coach Luis Plaza will continue relying on Miguel Sierra and Alfon on the right flank in his absence.

Dealing with knee discomfort

Vargas was absent from Thursday's training session due to knee discomfort, according to Zona Mixta.

Analysis: Vargas had felt the discomfort during the previous session and is now working apart from his teammates, an early setback that comes not long after his move to Olympiacos collapsed and he returned to full training with Sevilla. His path back into full sessions will be worth monitoring as the club continues integrating him into the squad following the transfer saga.
