MADRID, Spain — Real Madrid will be without Jose Maria (Guti) Gutierrez for 15 days due to a leg injury, the club said Monday.
The 31-year-old Guti was carried from the field on a stretcher in the 45th minute of Madrid’s 2-0 league victory over Racing Santander on Sunday. Medical tests confirmed Monday that the playmaker had sustained a muscle strain in his right leg.
Guti is expected to miss Madrid’s next three league games and a Champions League match at Zenit St. Petersburg on Sept. 30.
