Gamba's Leandro Out for Six Weeks

Gamba Osaka have announced that forward, Leandro, who strained a muscle when he clumsily trod on the ball during the game against Urawa on Saturday, is expected to be out of action for six weeks. (Not quite as disastrous as it sounds, after this weekend's game there is one-month break in the league schedule.) That will teach Nishino to force him to play tired players, despite Gamba's hectic schedule.
