Real Madrid's Danilo could be out for a month with foot injury

Real Madrid are waiting to find out how long Danilo will be out for after it was confirmed he has suffered a foot injury.

Danilo, 24, joined Madrid in the summer in a €31.5 million from FC Porto and started both of their opening La Liga fixtures.

But now the Brazil international, who missed the Copa America over the summer with an ankle injury, is set to be on the sidelines for the Spanish giants.

The right-back could be out for around a month, according to Marca, meaning he would miss eight games for his new club including the start of the Champions League campaign.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Following the tests carried out on Danilo today in the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital, the player has been diagnosed with a plantar fasciitis tear in his right foot. His condition will be evaluated."
