Due to a recurring thigh injury, the Madrid club will have to cope without their leader Cristiano Ronaldo for up to three weeks.
The thigh problems have been haunting the Portuguese player since the match against "Malaga" on March 3. C.Ronaldo stepped onto the field in the middle of the Champions League duel with "Lyon" last week, and on Saturday played against Madrid's "Atletico", but was replaced in the 72nd minute.
This injury means that the Portuguese will miss the Spanish championship match in the first weekend of April, and it is also unclear whether he will be ready to play in the first Champions League quarterfinal match against London's "Tottenham."
This season, C.Ronaldo has been demonstrating impressive athletic form and has scored 27 goals in 27 national championship matches.
