Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti will be without five Real Madrid stars for Tuesday’s Champions League game against RB Leipzig.
Dani Ceballos and Mariano Diaz remain on the sidelines for Los Blancos, with the former still out with a calf issue, while the latter has recently been unavailable due to a knock.
Karim Benzema missed the 3-1 victory over Sevilla at the weekend and still remains unavailable for the game against RB Leipzig due to muscular fatigue.
Federico Valverde is also unavailable for the game against RB Leipzig after picking up a knock in the 3-1 victory over Sevilla.
“He has a knock on his leg, it bothers him a bit, we have to see him,” head coach Carlo Ancelotti told reporters after the contest with Sevilla. “I don’t know if he will be able to recover [in time to face Leipzig].”
Luka Modric is believed to be struggling with a slight adductor issue and Real Madrid have confirmed the Croatian international is unavailable for the game against RB Leipzig.
“Luka Modric won’t play in tomorrow’s Champions League group stage match between Real Madrid and Leipzig, at the RB Arena,” read the statement from Real Madrid.
“The Croatian had been named in Ancelotti’s squad for the game, but is a last-minute withdrawal and won’t be travelling with the team to Leipzig.”
