According to Sri Lanka team management, Mathews has suffered a grade one tear.
He will not be available for Sunday's (24) third T20 against India and will put his chances of playing in the forthcoming Bangladesh series at risk.
Since the middle of 2015, he has missed a full tour of Zimbabwe, come home early from a tour of South Africa, missed Bangladesh's tour of Sri Lanka, and missed a full tour of the UAE - all because of various leg injuries.
Since then Mathews has stopped bowling in Test but continues to bowl in limited over cricket.
