Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz had to come to the sidelines injured in Tuesday night's charity match. He had to come in for treatment to his upper leg. It remains to be seen whether this will affect his race weekend in the principality, as the severity of the injury is unclear.

The Spaniard's upper right leg was wrapped with see-through tape on the bench. The severity of the injury is unclear. On Friday afternoon, Sainz, like his colleagues, will start the race weekend in Monaco.

Although it is unlikely to be serious, Sainz, who currently holds the fifth spot in the World Championship, will be hoping that this injury does not bring any long term consequences. Sainz had been showing off some flashy football moves, playing a through ball to Charles Leclerc which the Monegasque was unable to finish.
