Madrid's "Real" club continues to be plagued by player losses - in the match against "Malaga," Luka Modric and Marcelo suffered injuries.
Zinedine Zidane is currently unable to deal with the strongest lineup. Gareth Bale should return to training only after a few weeks, and Dani Carvajal recently dropped out of the lineup for a month. Currently, the team is also without the center-back Pepe and James Rodriguez.
As if that's not enough, in the last "La Liga" matches, Z. Zidane lost two key players of the team. L. Modric should not be out for long, but Marcelo's injury is more serious - the Brazilian strained his hamstring and may be forced to sit out for a month.
"I am concerned about the injuries. Luka felt discomfort during the match, but we hope nothing serious happened to him. Marcelo's injury is slightly more serious, and only after tests will we know how serious it really is," said Z. Zidane.
The worst part is that "Real" has no replacement for Marcelo - Fabio Coentrao continues to be plagued by injuries. Another full-back, Danilo, also has muscle problems, so yesterday "Real" had to play Nacho and Lucas Vazquez in defense.
The injury-plagued "Real" club traveled on Wednesday to face Celta Vigo in the away match for a spot in the King's Cup semifinals. It will not be easy for the "Whites" as the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium ended with a 2-1 victory for the visitors.
