Andreescu said she has already started rehab on the injury that will likely rule her out of Canada's Billie Jean King Cup tie against Belgium April 14-15 in Vancouver.
"It's tough to say exactly how long it will take, but let's just say it could have been much worse," Andreescu said.
"I'm going to take it day by day and I am optimistic that with the right work, rehab and preparation, I'll be back on the court soon."
