The right knee injury to Álvaro Arbeloa is more serious than originally thought.

Carlo Ancelotti initially believed Real Madrid would be without Arbeloa for approximately three weeks, but it now appears as though he'll be out for far longer.

Arbeloa said that the injury was worse than he thought “but if everything goes well, I’ll be out from six to eight weeks.” He added: “Hopefully, I make it back in time to play in the Champions League final if Madrid make it and the World Cup if I’m picked.”

With that much time out of the lineup, Arbeloa's spot on Spain's World Cup team is certainly in peril.
