Spanish term or phrase: Tiempo de baja

This is about a muscle injury sustained by a (Real Madrid) footballer. Does anyone know the specific term for when footballers cannot play because of injuries? As you can see from the context, the footballer can participate in group training sessions gradually, so I'm sure this is only referring to the time that he cannot actually play games.

I haven't a clue about football, and haven't been able to find anything convincing.

Context:

"Exploraciones Complementarias

RMN Pierna Izquierdo. Se visualiza aumento de señal en 1/3 medio del músculo soleo, sin hematoma intramuscular. Resto de estructuras musculares con morfología y señal conservada, sin evidencia de ruptura fibrilar, edema, hematoma, cicatriz ni atrofia grasa. Estructuras óseas con forma y señal conservada, sin imágenes de lesiones traumáticas ni destructivas.

Conclusiones.

- Lesión muscular Grado I en músculo soleo.

Se procederá a un tratamiento de Rehabilitación y Fisioterapia "ad hoc"; y su incorporación a las sesiones de entrenamiento colectivo será progresiva de acuerdo a la sintomatología clínica y bajo la supervisión facultativa. Tiempo aproximado de baja de 7-10 semanas."

Going into UK English. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks again to everyone for your help with this. This is the translation I delivered. However, I really like Jenni's suggestion of "time off play", which arrived after I'd delivered the job, so am going to add a separate glossary entry for that, as I would have chosen it had it come in on time for me...

Hi James,

I wouldn't say there anything really set in stone on this, but the above are all fairly common.

You'll also see the time a player's expected to be out expressed as an expected date of return, but I don't think you could do that with your text. Maybe the link will provide you with other help though.

Asker: Brilliant — thanks Jamie! I'm now going to use this: "Estimated downtime due to injury:" (V Good hits), Cheers!

Asker: Or "estimated injury downtime", even!

8 hrs confidence:

out of action/sidelined/will miss

Explanation:
This may be U.S. English but they're pretty common for sports reports in the press or TV.
Joe Footballer suffered a pulled hamstring muscle and will be out of action for 6-8 weeks.
Joe Footballer was injured in practice today and could be sidelined until early December/for 3 or four games. (Sideline probably comes from U.S. football originally but is pretty much used across the board. Means you're not on the active playing field/court).
You can also simply use will miss, but best when there'a more specific number. Will miss 3-4 weeks, will miss the team's upcoming clasico against Barcelona, all sorts of options.
They're all pretty interchangeable so you can vary your wording over the course of a text.

time off play/ medical leave (of absence)*

Explanation:
*I'd say "time off play" if it's the period that he shouldn't be on the field or in training and "medical leave" if the document has insurance ramifications. It's picky, but I wouldn't use "sick leave" as it regards an injury, not an illness.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks so much, Jenni. Had this been a few hours earlier, I would most probably have chosen it. It's like reverse hindsight! I originally meant to say "I haven't a clue about football *terminology" when I posted this yesterday, but going I the hits "time off play" produces for footie injuries in the UK, it's a very convincing term to me. Perhaps I could correct this "reverse hindsight" effect in the glossary?

Asker: Jenni, Please! Don't be sorry for being busy! Have been the same myself all week, crazy stuff in this heat! Thanks again, and have a great weekend too :)
