The €24m summer signing from Sevilla FC suffered the injury during Madrid's 4-1 home win against Rosenborg BK last night, and was replaced by Guti at half-time. As a result, Baptista will almost certainly miss Madrid's Matchday 4 return against Rosenborg, and possibly their home encounter with Olympique Lyonnais on 23 November.
