Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who was substituted in the derby defeat to Atletico Madrid on Saturday, is suffering from a muscular injury to the right thigh, the club announced on Monday.
After tests revealed the injury, Real made a short statement saying that they were still waiting to see for how long the Frenchman would be unavailable, although the Spanish press have reported that he could be sidelined for three weeks.
Benzema, who has scored 23 goals this season, was replaced at half-time by Borja Mayoral at the weekend.
The 1-0 loss leaves Zinedine Zidane’s men, who are also missing Gareth Bale and Marcelo through injuries, 12 points behind leaders Barcelona in the La Liga title race.
