Real Madrid’s Injury Concerns: Fede Valverde and Luka Modrić Set to Miss UEFA Champions League Fixture

• Karim Benzema missed Real Madrid's La Liga fixture against Sevilla and will miss the trip to Germany
• Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been unavailable for all of Madrid's games during the month of October
• Luka Modrić was included in Madrid's matchday squad but then suddenly withdrawn with no explanation given

Real Madrid will be without four key players for the Champions League game against RB Leipzig.

The Spanish side have already qualified for the last 16, but the German side needs a win to keep ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk in the battle for the second spot in the group.

Madrid will travel to Germany without Karim Benzema, Luka Modrić, Thibaut Courtois, and Fede Valverde, AS reported.

Benzema missed the La Liga game against Sevilla, but Modrić and Valverde are the defending champion’s new concerns. Courtois continues to be absent from the team due to a sciatica issue and has missed all the team’s games this month.

Valverde picked up a knock after a bit of a nasty tackle during the game against Sevilla and had to be substituted.

The club aren’t stressing too much about the Uruguayan’s injury and expects him to be back in action this weekend. Modrić is a different story, though.

Football Espana reported that Modrić was a part of the squad for the trip to Germany but was suddenly withdrawn. The club released a statement saying that the midfielder would no longer be part of the team and would not travel with the squad either.

No reason has been given for the Croatian’s sudden absence.
