Jesús Navas' left ankle (I) Out between: 16–30 September 2010; October 2010 – January 2011 On 16 September 2010, in the Europa League match against Paris Saint-Germain, Jesús Navas twisted his left ankle.

He had to be replaced on 76' because of a strong relapse. He was replaced by Julien Escudé. During October, it was thought that he needed surgery. He submitted it on 1 November in Vitoria-Gasteiz. He was operated by Dr. Mikel Sánchez and could return to play after Christmas, on 2 January against Osasuna.
