"Real" vs "Betis" will play not the strongest lineup © EuroFootball.com

Experiencing two defeats in a row with the same result in the Spanish championship, Real Madrid will have to face Wednesday's match against Sevilla without two stars.

In the match taking place in Madrid on Wednesday evening, Royal club coach Wanderley Luxemburgo will have to do without the injured Zinedine Zidane and team captain Raul. Good news for the Madrid club is that Brazilian Ronaldo and Spanish Guti, who successfully participated in today's club training, have recovered from their injuries.

The team captain is still sick, and Zidane will definitely not play against "the green and white" due to problems with his left foot, but there are also doubts whether he will be able to play against "Valencia" on the weekend.

In addition to these absences, we can also add defender Michel Salgado and left-back Raul Bravo, who dropped out of the lineup in the match against Juventus a month ago. There are doubts about Bravo's chances to play on Wednesday.

Another Real defender, Ivan Helguera, arrived earlier at the morning training today and, having received permission from the club's management, left to attend to personal matters.

By releasing Thomas Gravesen and David Beckham in the match against Betis, Luxemburgo is taking a big risk, as both midfielders have collected four yellow cards in the Spanish championship, and another one would mean they have to miss the match against Valencia next weekend. The situation is particularly dangerous for the fiery Danish player Gravesen, who has received three yellow cards in the last four Real Madrid matches, including one in the match against Juventus just a month ago.
