Real Madrid will be up to two months without midfielder Dani Cemballos for up to two months because of the injury he suffered last night.
Ceballos limped late in San Sebastián according to a difficult challenge of the Home Side Kubo in the Copa del Rey semi-final that visitors won Star Endrick 1-0 thanks to a goal from Brazil.
At first it seemed to be an impact injury, but the tests have confirmed this morning that the Spanish international damaged a knee tendon muscle.
Medical report Ceballos.

A club declaration states: “According to the tests carried out today, which was carried out by the Real Madrid Medical Services on Dani Ceballos today, he was diagnosed with a violation of the Semimemembranosus muscle, which affects the tendon in his left thigh. His recovery is evaluated. “
Until the end of April
Reports in Spain suggest that Ceballos will not return until the end of April.
It is another blow for Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, whose squad has to deal with injuries throughout the season, especially in defense areas.
The problems with the Back Four have led to the midfielder Fede Valverde and Aurelia Tchouameni had to take on defensive roles and had to appear in midfield regularly.
Ceballos could miss at least 10 Real Madrid games
But the former Arsenal man will now miss both legs of the upcoming collision for Champions League with the rival Atletico and the Crunch League games against his former Club Real Betis, Rayo Vallecano, Villarreal, Leganes, Valencia, Alves, Athletic Bilbao and Getafe.
Ancelotti still has many options and it seems likely that either the experienced Luka Modric or the International Arda Guler will get more opportunities in the coming weeks.
