Madrid's security Kaka will miss Sunday's match in the Spanish championship against Santander's "Racing" due to a thigh muscle injury.
The Brazilian added to forwards Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain, who will also be unable to play.
After recovering from a leg surgery, Kaka has not yet shined this season - he scored two goals in 11 matches.
Meanwhile, "Real" has won only once in the last four away games and can no longer afford to stumble, as they are 7 points behind the leader, "Barcelona".
