Tests carried out on the first team player Raphinha show that he has a hamstring injury in his right thigh.
He is unavailable for selection and his recovery will dictate his return.
Just over half an hour into the game against Sevilla last Friday, Raphinha was unable to continue after hurting himself in a goal attempt and was replaced by Fermin Lopez.
Until now, the Brazilian had played five league games and one in the Champions League. He scored goals against Betis and Mallorca, and also gave three assists, one in the same game with Mallorca and two against Royal Antwerp.
