Flamini's brutal tackle leaves Corluka out of action for about a month (VIDEO) © EuroFootball.com

London defender Vedran Corluka should return to the field in about a month, doctors predict.

The Croatian suffered what seemed like a serious injury in the Champions League round of 16 match against Milan, when he was knocked over by Mathieu Flamini while trying to intercept the ball.

However, it is said that there are no fractures, so the defender will be able to start training again in two weeks.

Still, he will have to miss the return match against Milan, which will take place on March 9 in London.
