Jude Bellingham is expected to miss Real Madrid’s Champions League last-16 first-leg tie against RB Leipzig on Tuesday with a sprained ankle.
The England midfielder, Bellingham, 20, was forced off after scoring two goals in Saturday’s 4-0 La Liga win over Girona.
The Spanish club have not put a timescale on his return and say his recovery will be “monitored”.

Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo were also on target for Carlo Ancelotti’s side at the Bernabeu to open up a five-point lead at the top of the table.
After Tuesday’s tie with Leipzig (20:00 GMT), Real face La Liga games away at Rayo Vallecano and at home to Sevilla before the end of February, with the return leg against Leipzig scheduled for 6 March.
