According to encancha.com, Spanish club Rivas Ecopolis has suffered a pre-season blow to their roster after Bulgarian forward Jaklin Zlatanova suffered a torn Achilles on Friday.

While the duration of recovery has yet to be set, it seems unlikely it will be less than around four months.

The Madrid club has been unlucky with early season injuries – last season they lost Amaya Valdemoro and Iva Sliskovic during the first couple of games of the season.

It’s unlikely the team will look for reinforcements to replace her.
