Real Madrid defensive midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni suffered an ankle sprain and will be out of action with no timeline for his return, the La Liga club said on Wednesday.

The 24-year-old France international was replaced by compatriot Eduardo Camavinga in the 46th minute of its stunning 3-1 loss to Serie A’s AC Milan in the Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.

The Athletic reported that Tchouameni is set to miss at least four weeks due to the injury.

“Following tests carried out today by Real Madrid’s Medical Services on our player Aurelien Tchouameni, he has been diagnosed with a sprained left ankle. His progress will be monitored,” the club said in a statement.
