The club said on Monday that the duo both sustained some muscle problems in Sunday's 1-0 league win over Real Zaragoza.

Raul tore a thigh muscle after 15 minutes and had to be substituted. The normal recovery period for the injury is about three weeks.

Emerson has a muscle problem in his right leg and is expected to be out for up to a month.
