Park Chu-young of AS Monaco will be sidelined for three weeks due to an injured right hamstring.

According to the club's Web site, Park was hurt when he collided with a FC Girondins de Bordreaux player in a Coupe de France round of 16 match Wednesday.

It said that an MRI confirmed the pulled hamstring and that he would miss about three weeks.

The injury will also keep the 24-year-old striker out of Korea's friendly against Cote d'Ivoire on March 3 at Loftus Road Stadium in London.

The Korean international has recorded nine goals and three assists in helping Monaco to sixth place in the Ligue 1 standings.
