Real Madrid have been dealt a massive blow as midfielder Toni Kroos has fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, the club have confirmed.
Los Blancos confirmed in a statement on Tuesday morning that the German midfielder had fractured the bone in Sunday's 3-0 win over Leganes, although he played the full 90 minutes – as he has done for each of the club's last eleven fixtures, including in the Copa Del Rey.
Whilst no timescale was released by the club, it is expected he will miss the next six weeks of actions and will be unavailable for the crunch league clashes with Atletico and Barcelona, alongside being ruled out for the remainder of the group stages of the Champions League.
