Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos has been ruled out for an indefinite period after sustaining a thigh muscle injury during a Copa del Rey match against Real Sociedad. Despite the team's victory, Ceballos's injury adds pressure as he has been an essential rotational player amidst other midfield injuries. Having played 30 times this season, his absence could severely affect Real Madrid's campaign, potentially sidelining him until late April and missing vital fixtures in La Liga and the Champions League.
Real Madrid have confirmed that midfielder Dani Ceballos suffered a thigh muscle injury in the closing stages of Wednesday night's Copa del Rey encounter with Real Sociedad.
Despite once looking as though he might be surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu, Ceballos has established himself as an important member of the squad.
Injuries to Eduardo Camavinga and age limitations of Luka Modric have meant Ceballos has racked up 30 appearances across all competitions this season.
Madrid haven't offered a timeframe for his recovery, but AS has reported it could be "at least" two months before Ceballos is back on the pitch.
