Watford goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann's loan spell in Spain has been interrupted by a knee injury, which will keep him out for two to three months.
The 31-year-old joined Deportivo La Coruna in the summer on a season-long loan.
The Spanish club said he has suffered a "partial tear of the external ligament in his left knee".
A statement on the Deportivo website added: "The Austrian goalkeeper begins a period of immobilization and joint relief before moving into the recovery phase with the club's physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists.
"The estimated recovery period will not be less than 10 weeks.
