Real Madrid Woes Continue as Isco Gets Injured

Real Madrid will be without midfielder Isco for a spell after the club confirmed he has suffered a hamstring strain.

The 27-year-old made his second appearance of the season as he started Saturday's 1-1 draw with Real Valladolid.

He was, however, forced off in the 68th minute due to injury and is now set for a spell on the sidelines with Madrid announcing on Wednesday that the Spaniard is struggling with a muscle problem.

A timescale has yet to be revealed although, depending on the severity of the problem, it could well be that the Spain international is out for as much as four weeks.

The good news for Los Blancos is that Isco's injury has come shortly before the international break, giving him an extended period to recover.

He is, however, now the sixth Real player to pick up a muscle injury already this season with Ferland Mendy, Brahim Diaz, James Rodriguez and Rodrygo all suffering similar issues.
