Madrid lose Keylor Navas to injury

Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas is expected to miss at least two weeks of action after it was confirmed that he has sustained an adductor injury.

The 30-year-old picked up an identical injury during the recent international break, keeping him out of the 2-1 victory over Getafe last weekend.

Navas returned in time for the midweek Champions League tie with Tottenham Hotspur, pulling off one big save in particular to deny Harry Kane, but he appears to have suffered a relapse.

A Madrid statement confirmed the injury to the Costa Rica international's thigh, though it did not state how long he will spend on the sidelines.

Reports in Spain suggest that a fortnight is the most likely timeframe, potentially keeping Navas out of games against Eibar and Girona in La Liga and the return fixture against Spurs in Europe on November 1.
