A trip to the dentist rules Juninho out of Vasco's Copa Libertadores clash against Alianza Lima

Juninho Pernambucano has confirmed that he will miss Vasco's Copa Libertadores clash against Alianza Lima on Tuesday because he will undergo dental surgery.

The 37-year-old midfielder was whacked in the face during the Cruz de Malta’s Copa Libertadores encounter with Nacional (Uru) back in February, and has since been wearing a gum shield to protect the rest of his teeth.

''I'm out of Tuesday's game because I need to have dental surgery,'' Juninho told reporters on Friday. ''I was whacked in the face against Nacional and my implant came out.''

''I have been taking antibiotics for a while, and either on Monday or Tuesday I will undergo surgery.''

The former Lyon player is expected to return to action for Vasco's Carioca state championship clash against arch-rivals Flamengo next Saturday.
