Portuguese international forward Danny is likely to be out for eight months after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee.
Danny will therefore not play again in Zenit's UEFA Champions League campaign, having started all six of his team's group stage fixtures. The 28-year-old sustained the injury during training in Florence and the extent of the problem was diagnosed on Monday.
Zenit face SL Benfica in the round of 16, with the first leg taking place in Russia on 15 February and the Lisbon return on 6 March. The Russian Premier League leaders resume their domestic campaign following the winter break at second-placed PFC CSKA Moskva on 3 March.
