|
Reigning Spanish champions, Real Madrid say their Mali international Mahamadou Diarra will undergo knee surgery on Monday.
"After undergoing several tests following a training session, during which Mahamadou Diarra felt severe pain in his right knee, it has been decided that he will have arthroscopic surgery next Monday," the club said in a statement.
"The operation will be carried out at Madrid's La Moraleja Hospital," it added.
Spanish sports daily newspaper Marca say that the 27-year-old defensive midfielder could be sidelined for between two to six months.
Real have struggled this season, in part due to a steady stream of injuries suffered by key players, and currently lie in fourth place, six points behind leaders Barcelona.
The club presented its new signing, Dutch international striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar on Thursday.
Huntelaar is seen as a replacement for Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is out until the end of the season after a knee operation.
