Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira is expected to miss the next three weeks of action after picking up a hamstring strain in Saturday’s loss to Atletico de Madrid.
The German international made only his third start in La Liga at the weekend but was removed at half time after picking up the injury. He was sent for tests on Monday morning and the club confirmed in a statement the player would be out for around three weeks.
The statement read: “Following the medical tests carried out on Sami Khedira by the Real Madrid doctors in the Sanitas La Moraleja Hospital, the player has been diagnosed with an injury to his left biceps femoris injury. His progress will be monitored.”
The World Cup winner has endured a frustration campaign which has been hampered by injury and falling behind Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the pecking order at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The 27-year-old is into the last four months of his contract and has long been linked with a mover away from the Spanish capital. The likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Fiorentina and Manchester City have been linked with Khedira, but latest reports suggest he has agreed a free transfer to Bayern Munich when his contract expires.
Real boss Carlo Ancelotti has a number of senior players already on the sidelines, with Modric, Pepe, Sergio Ramos and James Rodriguez all on the treatment table.
