The Real centre-back was accidentally kicked in the face by Atletico defender Lucas Hernandez and although he played on he was taken off at half-time.
Speaking after the game manager Zinedine Zidane said: "It is a fracture, for Sergio. I believe it's broken. I don't know how long he'll be out for."
