This is yet another injury for Los Blancos’ defensive line, which will be without Militao, Alaba, Rudiger, Carvajal and now Vazquez as well.
Fede Valverde will be expected to start on the right flank of the defensive line, with Camavinga and Ceballos likely deployed in the midfield.
Real Madrid will have to survive that first leg in order to make sure they can advance to the next round.
