Cardiff City midfielder Gary Medel has revealed that he expects to be out of action for "several weeks" after suffering a muscle tear over the weekend.
The 26-year-old was forced off the field midway through the Bluebirds' 2-1 defeat to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup on Saturday.
After undergoing a scan, Medel posted a photograph on Instagram with a message saying: "Well, this is football. A muscle tear that means staying out for several weeks. I hope to recover as quickly as possible."
Medel moved to the Cardiff City Stadium for a club-record fee of £11m last summer.
