La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Tuesday been dealt a fresh blow on the personnel front.
And it will no doubt be one of major concern for all associated with Los Blancos…
Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action on the continent, in a Champions League 2nd leg showdown with Manchester City.
And as things stand, the Spanish heavyweights find themselves cruising towards the competition’s quarter-finals.
Late in proceedings at The Etihad, the scoreline is locked at a goal apiece.
After their dominant 3-0 first-leg victory, however, Real Madrid boast a commanding 4-1 aggregate advantage.
And yet, an otherwise positive night’s work to date for Álvaro Arbeloa’s troops has been soured to at least some degree by an injury blow.
With 45 minutes on the clock in Manchester, Thibaut Courtois was hooked for Andriy Lunin.
The understanding is that this came owing to an adductor problem for the Belgian, the extent of which will be revealed over the days ahead.
