Real Madrid will be without central defender Raphael Varane for at least 10 days after the club confirmed the Frenchman had suffered "an injury in his right abductor muscle".

Varene suffered the injury during Saturday's 2-0 La Liga win at home to Osasuna and had to be substituted at half time with the score 0-0, and although at first it was thought he had only suffered a strain, tests carried out on Monday proved otherwise, reports Xinhua.
