Saint-Etienne defender Carlos Bocanegra will be out for three weeks with a neck injury.
Bocanegra, who captained the U.S. team at this year's World Cup, sprained his neck when falling awkwardly during Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Nice after a clash of heads with Nice forward Eric Mouloungui.
The club said on its website Tuesday that the 31-year-old Bocanegra will be sidelined for "about 20 days" and that rules him out of the next four games.
Bocanegra has been one of Saint-Etienne's best players since joining from Rennes this summer, and his form has helped the club into second place in the French league.
