MADRID (AFP) - Real Madrid's Argentine international striker Gonzalo Higuain has suffered a tear in his left calf muscle and will be sidelined for three weeks, the club said on Tuesday.The injury was detected after the 22-year-old underwent medical tests at a Madrid hospital on Tuesday, it said in a statement.
"We were all very surprised because nobody thought that he had such an injury. But this happens during such a long season with so many matches," said Real keeper Iker Casillas.
Higuain has been a regular for Real this season, scoring 11 times in the league and two in the Champions League despite the arrival of Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, Brazil's Kaka and France's Karim Benzema.
Benzema, the top scorer in the French league the 2007-2008 season who has struggled to impress since he joined Real from French side Lyon in July, is likely to take Higuain's place.

i've noticed that so far, Real was heavily dependant on at least one person being on top form to pull results. first the wank, then Kaka, now Higuain. Kaka and the wank are getting there, but they're not exactly peaking at the moment. wonder who it would be saving their sorry lot this time. "Guti to the rescue! Kisses Ronaldo to celebrate each good game!" :lol:
