The loss of Marcelo is not the biggest problem for Real Madrid's coach Zinedine Zidane. The winners of the UEFA Champions League released a medical report on defensive midfielder Casemiro, indicating that the Brazilian suffered a fractured fibula. It is estimated that the player will be out of action for up to a month or two. This is perhaps the biggest loss for Real Madrid, as Casemiro brought stability to the team's defensive line. Under Zidane, the Brazilian was almost irreplaceable, so this injury seriously disrupts the Frenchman's plans. Casemiro sustained the injury over the weekend when, in a battle for the ball, one of the players from Barcelona's Espanyol accidentally kicked him in the shin. Zidane faces a serious headache - whether to play with a more attacking defensive line or to position one of the central defenders in the defensive midfielder position.
