Kenedy has only made a few appearances for Chelsea since joining them from Fluminense in 2015.
The 24-year-old previously had loan spells at Watford, Newcastle United and Getafe and the Blues allowed him to join Granada on a season-long loan deal in September.
He has 12 appearances in all competitions for the Spanish club and has a goal and two assists to his name. The Brazilian’s last appearance came in Granada’s 2-0 defeat to Real Sociedad before the international break.
The Chelsea owned player started the match against the San Sebastian based club, but was replaced by Kingsley Fobi after the break.
According to AS, Kenedy will be out for a month with a ‘grade II fibrillary injury in the left semimembranosus’.
Granada finished the last league tie with only four senior players on the pitch, and were without their manager, Diego Martínez, assistant manager, several of their key players and a few members of the backroom staff.
Granada, who had only seven senior players in the squad for the clash, requested to postpone their clash against Sociedad, but it was rejected by the RFEF Competition Committee.
With several of their players and backroom staff having tested positive for Covid-19, the Chelsea owned player became the latest one to suffer after their league clash went ahead as per the schedule.
