Real Madrid have confirmed that Gareth Bale has suffered a calf injury after undergoing tests at a hospital.
The winger scored in the 5-1 win over Sporting Gijon on Saturday but limped off before half-time after complaining of discomfort in his leg.
After further tests, Madrid have released a statement revealing the extent of his problem, but stopped short of confirming his length of absence.
"After tests on Gareth Bale at the University Hospital Sanitas La Moraleja, the player has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the soleus of the right leg. The severity of the injury will depends how it evolves."
The injury couldn't have come at a worse time for Bale, with the forward enjoying some of his finest form since joining the club in 2013.
