MADRID, July 27 (Xinhua) -- Real Betis goalkeeper Diego Conde is expected to spend several weeks on the sidelines after dislocating his left shoulder on his debut for the club.

Betis confirmed the injury on Monday after the 26-year-old was hurt during Saturday's preseason friendly against Granada, just days after completing his move from Villarreal.

Conde was forced off after colliding with defender Diego Llorente midway through the first half at Granada's Los Carmenes Stadium.

The club said Conde suffered a dislocation of his left shoulder. The shoulder was put back into place at the stadium before the goalkeeper left with his arm in a sling.

Although Betis has not given a timetable for his recovery, Spanish media reports indicate Conde is likely to be sidelined for at least six weeks.

The injury leaves Alvaro Valles as Betis' only fit senior goalkeeper, with Ukraine under-17 international Yan Zhuravski providing backup.

Betis opens its La Liga campaign against Real Sociedad on August 22, with Conde also expected to miss matches against Valencia, Levante, Real Madrid and his former club Villarreal. ■
