Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o's injury is not as serious as previously thought, according to the official website.
In Sunday's "El Clasico" match, the Cameroonian scored a goal, but in the second half he was carried off the field on a stretcher. Immediately after this episode, there were talks that Eto'o might not appear on the field this season.
However, Eto'o's injury is not very serious and he should return to the field in about ten days - the usual time for treating a cartilage inflammation.
This diagnosis means that the forward will not be able to help his team in Saturday's match against Getafe, but could already play in the match against Malaga in two weeks.
After yesterday's match, which ended 4-2 in favor of Real Madrid, the lead of the Catalan superclub in the Spanish championship has decreased to six points. There are seven rounds left until the end of the championship.
