The right-back was forced off at half-time in Tuesday night's match at the Bernabeu, which saw Real build a 3-0 first-leg lead over semi-final opponents Atletico thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick.
A statement published on realmadrid.com on Wednesday evening revealed Carvajal, 25, had been diagnosed with a grade-two hamstring injury in his right leg, while his recovery is under assessment.
He will miss Saturday's league game at Granada and should expect to sit out next week's European meeting with Atletico, with matches against Sevilla, Celta Vigo and Malaga following shortly afterwards.
The Champions League final takes place in Cardiff on June 3, and Real academy product Carvajal will hope to be fit enough to feature in the season-ending showpiece for the third time in his career.
