David Alaba and Rodrygo both sustained injuries during Real Madrid's victory over Liverpool, dealing the team a double blow.
The 30-year-old Alaba had to be replaced by Nacho after leaving the 5-2 Champions League last-16 first-leg victory at Anfield with a hamstring injury after 27 minutes.
The Austrian international is almost certainly out of Real's match against Atletico Madrid on Saturday at the Bernabeu.
Alaba must work quickly to recover in time for the second leg against Jurgen Klopp's team on March 15.
He played in four games against Al Ahly, Al Hilal, Elche, and Osasuna before Liverpool after returning from a one-month layoff.
Also scheduled to miss the Atletico Madrid game and sit out for 10 days is the Brazilian forward Rodrygo.
After 81 minutes against Liverpool, the 22-year-old was taken off with a left upper leg injury.
In 35 games across all competitions, Rodrygo had been a constant for the LaLiga giants this season, contributing 10 goals and 8 assists.
Following a flu-related absence from the trip to Liverpool, Aurelien Tchouameni has resumed training ahead of the Atletico match.
Despite concerns that he might miss nearly three months of action after suffering a thigh injury in late January, left-back Ferland Mendy might be available in two weeks. .
After the game against Atletico, Real will play Real Betis, Espanyol, and Barcelona in the Copa del Rey before hosting Liverpool in the second leg.
