Sun Nov 22, 8:17 AM

MADRID, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Sevilla striker Arouna Kone has flown to Brussels to be with his daughter, after she was badly injured in an accident, and will miss Tuesday's Champions League game at Romanian side Unirea Urziceni.

The Ivory Coast international's six-year-old daughter apparently fell down the stairs at home and suffered a serious blow to the head, the club said on their website (www.sevillafc.es) on Sunday.

Sevilla have already qualified from Group G.
