Gimenez showed clear signs of pain in the back of his left leg, and his coach, Brian Priske, said he would miss a few weeks.
“He will be out of circulation for at least a few weeks, I still don’t know how serious it is; We have to wait a few days. I just spoke to him and he was positive,” said the coach after the match.
