Madrid - Spanish giants Sevilla will have to get by without Julien Escude for at least two weeks. The powerful defender suffered a badly broken nose after just nine minutes of Wednesday's stormy World Cup playoff between France and Ireland, after colliding with teammate Patrice Evra.
Escude was replaced by Sevilla team-mate Sebastien Squillaci, and will now be out of action for at least two weeks.
Sevilla are third in La Liga and have already qualified for the Champions League round of 16.
