The 31-year-old will miss Saturday's trek to Bournemouth, the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City and the Premier League home games against Sheffield United and Burnley.
This marks Varane's sixth separate lay-off through injury or illness this season. Jonny Evans has been ruled out of the Bournemouth game with what has been described as a shorter-term muscle issue.
