Coaches of Madrid clubs are missing key players approaching the UEFA Champions League semi-final battle.
According to reports in the Spanish press, Madrid's "Real" club may have to play the first match without Karim Benzema, who did not appear at yesterday's training session.
It is certain that in this clash, Raphael Varane will be able to help the "Real" club, but due to injuries, Pepe and Gareth Bale will definitely not be on the field.
Meanwhile, Diego Simeone has lost three players who play in the right back position. Juanfran and Sime Vrsaljko have been injured for a week, so their absence in the Madrid derby was expected earlier.
However, D. Simeone has also lost another player who is not a regular in that position, but can play there. This is - Jose Gimenez, who suffered an injury in the match against "Las Palmas" over the weekend.
It is expected to see Lucas Hernandez in this position, who has played as a center and left back so far.
Yannick Carrasco has a chance to play in the Madrid derby, as he missed the weekend due to an injury but participated in the full team training yesterday.
The first Champions League semi-final match between "Real" and "Atletico" will start at 21:45 Lithuanian time tomorrow at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium.
