Real Madrid star Kroos sidelined by adductor tear

Toni Kroos will miss a series of Real Madrid's forthcoming matches with a grade two adductor tear, the Liga giants have confirmed.

The Germany midfielder was substituted 10 minutes from time in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabeu, a result that left Santiago Solari's side fifth in Spain's top flight.

A statement on the club's official website reads: "Following tests carried out on our player Toni Kroos today by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a grade two tear of the adductor muscle in his left leg. His recovery will be monitored.
