Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas
suffered a groin injury while on international duty with Costa Rica, the La
Liga club announced on Wednesday.
The European champions confirmed
that Navas had a "swollen adductor muscle in his right groin" in a
statement on their website, but did not say how long the 30-year-old would be
out of action.
He joins a long Real injury list
featuring the likes of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Mateo Kovacic and Marcelo,
and could miss both Saturday's La Liga trip to Getafe and Tuesday's crucial
Champions League clash against Tottenham Hotspur at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Back-up keeper Kiko Casilla is
likely to start at the weekend, with coach Zinedine Zidane's son Luca set to
take his place on the bench.
Navas returned to Madrid on Monday
before Costa Rica's final World Cup qualifier against Panama, having played in
the 1-1 draw with Honduras in which his country booked their place for next
year's finals in Russia.
