The Flyers winger will undergo further tests this week to determine the severity of the injury.
Voracek is one of the seven Flyers players playing overseas during the NHL lockout. He has recorded one goal and six assists in seven games in the KHL.
The seventh overall pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft compiled 18 goals and 31 assists in 78 games with the Flyers last season.
