Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly set to be sidelined for 'two to three weeks' after Real Madrid confirmed that the Frenchman has suffered a hamstring injury.

Real Madrid experienced a disappointing trip to Anfield on Wednesday evening, losing 2-0 to Liverpool on matchday five of the Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah both missed penalties, as goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo proved to be the difference.

To make matters worse for Real Madrid, they suffered another injury blow when Camavinga was forced off in the second period.

The France international appeared to be struggling with a hamstring problem and had to be replaced by Dani Ceballos in the 58th minute.

How long will Camavinga be sidelined and what games will he miss?

As per journalist Fabrizio Romano, Camavinga's hamstring injury is expected to keep him out of action for two to three weeks.

Camavinga will miss league games against Getafe, Athletic Bilbao and Girona, while he is also likely to be absent for Real Madrid's next Champions League match against Atalanta BC on December 10.

If he fails to recover in two weeks, the midfielder may also be a doubt for Real Madrid's away league meeting with Rayo Vallecano on December 14.

Camavinga will hope to be available for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final on December 18 when Los Blancos will face one of Al Ahly, Pachuca or the Copa Libertadores winners.
