Real's Salgado suffers new injury setback.

Real Madrid defender Michel Salgado has suffered a setback in his bid to return to action after a knee injury when he strained a calf muscle in training on Tuesday.

The Spain right back was poised to return to action after recovering from an injury to his left knee but is now almost certain to miss this Sunday's league match against Getafe as well as next week's Champions League game against Steaua Bucharest.
Real are also without Brazil right back Cicinho, who will miss most of the season after tearing the cruciate ligament in his right knee last month.
Coach Fabio Capello is likely to look to Alvaro Mejia or Sergio Ramos to fill the gap on the right side of the defence.
