Olympique de Marseille defender Gabriel Heinze will miss both UEFA Europa League round of 16 encounters with SL Benfica because of a leg injury.
The left-back was substituted two minutes into the second half of Argentina's 1-0 victory against Germany in Munich on Wednesday following a challenge with Lukas Podolski. Subsequent scans have revealed damage to the fibula in his right leg, ruling the 31-year-old out for three weeks. The first leg takes place on 11 March in Lisbon, with the return a week later at Stade Vélodrome.
