MARCOS Senesi was ‘feeling cramps’ which forced him off against Chelsea, with Andoni Iraola hopeful that he has not picked up an injury.
The Argentine went down around the hour mark against the Blues, after appearing to overstretch when sliding in for the ball.
He picked himself up after some treatment and came back on, but that was only for a couple of minutes before he went down again and was replaced by James Hill.
Senesi was excellent against Chelsea, as he returned to the team after a game’s suspension for his fifth booking which he picked up against Sunderland last weekend.
Iraola is hopeful that he has done nothing serious, but he said: “We will have to assess him in these coming days.
“He was feeling cramps. I have my hopes because he didn't feel something specific.
“But we have to make sure that there is not a small injury there. I think we need him. He's very important for our way of playing.
“He has played a really good game today and I hope that just the demands of the game physically were so big that he just felt the cramps in the quad and there is no injury there, but I don't know.”
