On Wednesday in the upcoming UEFA Champions League quarter-final match between Madrid's "Real" and "Atletico" with Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, and Marcelo missing from the ranks of the "royal" club, striker Karim Benzema will not appear.
Goal.com announces that the Frenchman failed to pass a medical test successfully during Monday's training session, as problems were found in his right knee.
With Benzema out, coach Carlo Ancelotti will only be able to rely on the services of the best player of 2014, Cristiano Ronaldo, from the usual attacking trio.
It is believed that alongside the Portuguese in the attack, Javier Hernandez and Isco will be present.
Meanwhile, instead of the injured Luka Modric for several weeks, Asier Illarramendi or Lucas Silva should appear in the midfield.
