Real Madrid’s medical staff will be busy ahead of the return to La Liga action this weekend after a string of players returned from international duty with knocks and injuries.
Brazil left back Marcelo has fractured a bone in his right foot and is expected to be out of action for up to three months, while Fabio Coentrao, Alvaro Arbeloa, Karim Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain and Sami Khedira are all in need of treatment.
‘It looks pretty black,’ Spain and Real midfielder Xabi Alonso said.
‘It’s really bad luck that in seven days we have lost all three. I am sure the boss is working on finding a solution.’ Real host Celta this weekend in La Liga.
