Real Madrid captain, Karim Benzema, is set to be sidelined for a month with a quad injury.

Benzema sustained the injury during the Champions League group stage match against Celtic.

ESPN reports the injury will keep Benzema out for a month, meaning he will miss Los Blancos’ second Champions League group stage match against RB Leipzig.

Benzema, 34, scored 15 goals in 12 matches in the Champions League last season as Carlo Ancelotti’s side lifted the European title.
