Defender Varane lasted just 10 minutes of his return from a lay-off of over a month when he limped out of Real's LaLiga victory over Alavés on Sunday.
The Frenchman underwent a scan on Tuesday morning, with Los Blancos later releasing a medical report announcing the renewed injury blow.
"After the tests performed today on our player Raphael Varane at the University Hospital Sanitas la Moraleja, he has been diagnosed with a grade 2 injury in the left biceps femoris," Real said. "His recovery will continue to be assessed."

In between those two key games, the 23-year-old will also be sidelined for both legs of Madrid's Champions League quarter-final tie with Bayern Munich.
