On Friday, Real Madrid released a statement to confirm that the Espanyol loanee had sustained an injury to his right ankle.
The statement read: "After the tests carried out on our player Joselu by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with bone edema in his right ankle. Evolution pending".
While Real Madrid have not disclosed a time frame for Joselu's recovery, AS are reporting that the striker is set to miss three weeks of action.
As a result, Joselu is expected to miss at least four matches, including Sunday's meeting with Sevilla at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Joselu will also be absent for league games against Valencia and Celta Vigo as well as the return leg of the Champions League last-16 tie against RB Leipzig.
The 33-year-old may also be a doubt for the away clash with Osasuna in Real Madrid's final game before the international break in March.
While he has not been a guaranteed start, Joselu has played an important role for Carlo Ancelotti's side this season, having scored 13 goals in 35 competitive appearances.
