'Pulled hamstring'
Squillaci limped off in the 31st minute, before Monaco went on to win 1-0 thanks to Gerard López's strike on the hour. "He sustained a pulled hamstring and will miss three to six weeks," Monaco medical officer Dr Philippe Kuentz said.
Ruled out
The 25-year-old French international will miss Les Bleus' friendlies against Costa Rica and Germany on 9 and 12 November. He is also doubtful for Monaco's UEFA Cup Group A game against Hamburger SV on 24 November.
