Real Madrid began preparing for Wednesday’s Champions League match against Leipzig, a duel in which Carlo Ancelotti is fighting without four players. Lucas Vazquez, who was forced to retire in the second half of the duel against Mallorca, is suffering from a muscle disease, although he is still waiting to know the details of his MRI tomorrow. Ultrasound was performed today, but the results are inconclusive
The other three absences will be Karim Benzema, Eder Militao and Alvaro Odriozola, who has yet to play one minute all season. The Frenchman and Lucas trained in the gym, while the Brazilian and the Spaniard trained on the field
At the moment, deadlines are met with Benzema (the target is to return to Osasuna on October 2) and with Militao (he has options to play in the derby on Sunday, although Ancelotti does not want to risk that). Meanwhile, Lucas’ vacation will be known more accurately throughout tomorrow
For the rest, it was the recovery session for beginners in the victory over Mallorca and more intense for the rest, which began in the gym and ended on the field with a match on a small court
