The Madrid team will have to play without two important players.
It was officially announced that defender Aurelien Tchouameni and defender David Alaba dropped out of the squad.
The first player injured his foot during the royal club's training, while the second player twisted his foot in a match against the "Villarreal" club.
Although the players will be monitored and the dates of their return to the field are not yet announced, it is believed that "Real" fans may see them back only at the end of January.
This season, A. Tchouameni played 14 matches in the "La Liga" championship and made 2 assists, while D. Alaba played 16 matches, scoring 1 goal and making 3 assists.
