"The Getafe player has an inflammatory process in his knee. In coordination with his club, he will return to Spain to continue the assessment," the Uruguayan Football Association announced. Satriano thus left the squad in Kolkata, in the middle of the national team's Asian tour.

The striker did not play a single minute in the first two games of the tour, the defeat to Japan (3-1) and the win over South Korea (4-1), and he will also miss the final friendly, against India, scheduled for Tuesday 6 October.

The club has not specified the diagnosis or set a recovery period. Tests by the club's medical staff will determine the extent of the problem and his availability.

The setback comes in a demanding week for José Bordalás. Getafe return to action after the international break with a trip to Barcelona on Saturday 10 October at 16:30 at the Spotify Camp Nou, and will then travel to Romania to make their debut in the Conference League league phase against Universitatea Craiova.

For Satriano, the problem also cuts short his return to the Uruguay senior side, who had included him in Diego Forlán's first squad as head coach.
