Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira will be sidelined for up to three weeks because of a leg injury.
Madrid says a medical scan Wednesday on the Germany international revealed a torn muscle in his left leg.
Khedira has been a regular in coach Jose Mourinho's starting lineup since arriving in the offseason from Stuttgart after an impressive World Cup. Khedira has started in 27 of his 32 appearances this season.
Khedira will likely miss at least three league matches, starting Saturday at Deportivo La Coruna, but should be back for the return leg of the last-16 match against Lyon in the Champions League on March 16. Madrid drew 1-1 Tuesday at Lyon in the first match.
