Zinedine Zidane has lost two of his team’s pillars on injury in recent days: Toni Kroos and Marcelo. Worrying before challenging the PSG.
The victory against Paris Saint-Germain (3-1), last Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League in the first leg of the first leg, has given Real Madrid back their colors since the start of the season. In the wake, Zinedine Zidane’s men have pocketed a nice success after being led to score this weekend on the lawn of Betis Sevilla (3-5), during the 24th day of La Liga. But two big shadows tarnished the picture.
Kroos and Marcelo on the floor
Two injuries, two important players of the team: Toni Kroos and Marcelo. The first was hit at one knee against the Parisians. Victim of a sprain, he is likely to miss the eighth final return scheduled on March 6 at Parc des Princes. In front of the defense, the German plays a key role in the merengue device. A blow for the Madrid coach who could replace him by Mateo Kovacic.
The second had to give way to the half hour of play against the Andalusians. The Brazilian would suffer a muscle injury in his right thigh, so he may be right to face the PSG. Everything will of course depend on the depth of this lesion; the exams should give their verdict on Monday. The absence of the wisp auriverde, which has done much harm to the Parisians in the first leg, marching the third goal in particular, would obviously be disabling for the Real.
