Boss Roy Keane has revealed that Luciano Civelli is unlikely to play for Town this season and has returned home to Argentina to recover from the knee ligament injury.
Civelli was injured back in March in a game against Burnley and it was hoped that he would return this month, as Town boss Roy Keane explained to the club site: "Luca has gone back to Argentina for two months and I have written him off until pre-season.
"It has been tough for him. He's had a few setbacks and is making slow progress but he's had a serious injury.
"We had a chat last week and he asked if he could go home and I'm comfortable with that. For the foreign lads it can be better for them to be back home and our medical people will be in touch with him every week.
"He'll be using a clinic in Argentina and it will help him being home, not just physically but mentally as well."
