This could be some quite a good news for the club with 30-year-old expected to miss at most two weeks of action for Zinedine Zidane’s side which includes games against Real Valladolid and the next against Levante.
Meanwhile in his absence, the likes of Federico Valverde, Modric and Isco will all be vying for the opportunity to slot in the void left by the former Bayern Munich star.
Zidane seem to have found a place for Martin Odegaard though that is subjected to change in the course of the season and he is expected to find a partner for defensive midfielder Casemiro.
