Real Madrid and Spain defender Dani Carvajal missed the team's training session at their FIFA World Cup base camp in the southern Russian city of Krasnodar, the France-Presse news agency reported Monday.
Carvajal picked up a hamstring injury during Real Madrid's 3-1 victory against Liverpool in the Champions League final in Kiev on May 26. Earlier, media reported that the 26-year-old could miss up to three weeks.
The defender has been capped 15 times for Spain since 2014 but has yet to play at a major tournament. Carvajal missed Euro 2016 after suffering an injury during Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory against Juventus, also in the Champions League final.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup will be held between June 14 and July 15 at 12 stadiums in 11 Russian cities.
Spain, who claimed their only World Cup title in South Africa in 2010, were drawn in Group B and will play reigning European champions Portugal in Sochi on June 15, Iran in Kazan on June 20 and Morocco in Kaliningrad on June 25.
