There was a huge blow in Real Madri newds as central defender Raphael Varane is out of the club’s two key matches this week.
The Frenchman is out on Wednesday
night’s Champions League semi-final second leg
against Chelsea and will also be unavailable for Sunday’s La Liga clash
against Sevilla.
The 27-year-old has an injury in his
abductor muscle in his right leg, as per Diario AS, which is likely to rule him out for
at least 10 days and he is a major doubt for the league clash against Granada.
There was more positive team news for Real Madrid with an update that both captain Sergio Ramos and left-back Ferland Mendy are likely to be back available for selection.
The injury to Varane is also likely to increase the
workload for defensive duo Eder Militao and Nacho Fernandez,
especially with right-back duo Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez set
to miss the remainder of the campaign.
