Right-back Sergio Ramos has failed to recover from tendinitis and will miss Real Madrid's La Liga season opener against Deportivo Coruna on Saturday, Real said on their website.
Central defender Pepe is serving a 10-match ban for his sending off against Getafe last season and striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and midfielder Mahamadou Diarra need more time to recover after lengthy injury layoffs, they added.
Real coach Manuel Pellegrini does not believe the departure of Dutch pair Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben will disrupt his plans and said the club does not need to buy any more players.
"They (Sneijder and Robben) are very good players but I have no complaint," he said at a news conference. "I have two players for each position and I think the squad is complete," he added when asked whether Real could sign Bayern Munich's French midfielder Franck Ribery.
Sevilla's Brazilian midfielder Adriano Correia has a muscle problem in his left leg and is doubtful for Sunday's match at Valencia, the club said on their website.

"We are not used to having a pitch in this condition," the defender told the club's website. "We hope it recovers quickly because we need a pitch in good condition at the Mestalla and at the moment we don't have that."
Villarreal defender Diego Godin injured an ankle in Thursday's Europa League win over NAC Breda but should be fit for Sunday's match at Osasuna, the club said on their website.
Fellow defenders Gonzalo Rodriguez and Ivan Marcano are also injured, they added. Rodriguez is a doubt and Marcano is definitely out.
