Michel Salgado could miss the first leg of Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League tie against Liverpool due to injury.

The veteran full-back suffered a muscle problem in training earlier this week and doctors expect him to be sidelined for two to three weeks.

Real entertain Liverpool at the Bernabeu on 25th February and it seems Salgado will struggle to recover in time.

The 33-year-old will also have to sit out Primera Liga clashes with Sporting Gijon and Real Betis.

He should definitely be fit for the trip to Anfield on 10th March when Real will be looking to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
