Tests revealed a small tear, roughly two centimeters long, in his left hamstring just a mere couple inches away from another tear he had suffered in April and just returned from last weekend after missing two weeks.
Valencia will be without their influential attacking midfielder as Los Che attempt to overtake Real Sociedad for fourth place and the final Champions League spot. Currently Valencia are two points behind Real their win over the weekend and Real's loss to Getafe yesterday.
Canales will miss Valencia's trips to Rayo Vallecano and Getafe along with a home match against Granada. He could be available for the season finale against Sevilla on June 1st.
