ISTANBUL

Fenerbahce's Dimitris Pelkas has suffered a hamstring injury, and could be out for two weeks at least, Anadolu Agency has learnt.

The 27-year-old was injured in the match with Caykur Rizespor Saturday evening, and has a grade 2 hamstring tear, the club said in a statement on Sunday. Treatment, however, has already begun.

A club official told Anadolu Agency that Pelkas will be ineligible for the next 14 days.

Hence, the team regular will miss the derby against Galatasaray on Feb. 6 at the Ulker Stadium, the team's home ground.

The attacking midfielder scored 4 goals and 6 assists in 16 Turkish Super Lig appearances for the Istanbul club this season.
