Real Madrid confirmed on Monday that Toni Kroos has suffered a tear in his adductor muscle.
News of the problem came via a club statement which said Kroos has picked up a Grade 2 tear of his left adductor and "his recovery will be monitored."
Kiyan Sobhani of Managing Madrid offered a predicted timescale for the player's recovery:
Kroos joined Real Madrid in 2014 from Bayern Munich and quickly became a vital part of the Los Blancos setup; he has helped Madrid to three UEFA Champions League titles in succession in recent years.
