The striker was taken off in the 16th minute of the game at Celta's Balaidos home, which the Galicians won 4-1, after winning a penalty from a foul by Federico Fazio.

Coach Juan Carlos Unzue told a news conference that the former Manchester City and Celtic striker, who joined Celta in 2015, could be out for up to six weeks.

Guidetti scored nine goals in all competitions last season as Celta reached the semi-finals of the King's Cup and the Europa League.
