Seba has been sidelined since November with a back injury. It was initially thought that rest would cure the problem but it flared up again in January and he has since had an operation to cure the problem.

After the op it was reported that he could be back by April- raising the question as to why he didn't just have the op in the first place, seeing as it only had a three month recovery period!

Speaking from Argentina, Seba said "I feel I've had a lot of bad luck since I came to England.

"Maybe I am cursed.

"It's very hard for me to take, but I must not risk my career."

Of course it must be a curse... getting paid a reported £90,000 a week to sun it up in Argentina!
