Madrid - Real Madrid will be without veteran midfielder Guti for around a month, the troubled Spanish giants announced on Friday.
Guti, 32, has torn the cuadriceps muscle in his left leg, according to the club doctors.
He has not played since December 20 and will not be out until the middle of February. Thus he is doubtful for Real's Champions League round of 16 clash against Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The injury to Guti will open the door for new signing Lassana Diarra to establish himself in the Real midfield.
