"It's an unfortunate event but it will not change the fact that I will race again in August," said Demare, who sustained the injury during a training ride earlier this month.
Demare, 28, has two Tour de France stage wins and one Giro d'Italia stage victory to his name and won the Milan-Sanremo 'Monument' classic in 2016.
The elite season has been suspended amid the COVID-19 crisis but will resume in August, with the Tour de France being scheduled for Aug. 29-Sept 20.
