According to Football Espana, Krychowiak faces "a spell on the sidelines," quoting a statement released via the official Sevilla website, which read: “The Pole’s return to training will depend on his pain threshold. The team put in a titanic effort on Tuesday, Krychowiak even ending the game bandaged with a broken rib.”
The report includes no mention of precisely how long the midfielder could be out for, but Krychowiak's no-nonsense style of play might leave one under the impression that his threshold for pain is a high one.
