Luka Modric is out against Naples. The Croatian underwent an MRI this Tuesday, after the discomfort he felt last Sunday against Cádiz in the hamstrings of his left leg. The tests confirm that the footballer does not suffer a break, but he does suffer a strong muscular overload that will prevent him from playing this Wednesday against the Italians in the Champions League.
The 38-year-old midfielder thus joins a long list of injuries in Carlo Ancelotti's squad that recovers Brahim Díaz for the cause, after an illness. The Italian coach has eight absentees for the European confrontation: Courtois and Kepa in goal, Militao in defense, Tchouaméni, Camavinga and Arda Güler in the midfield and Vinícius in the offensive sector.
As a result, 'Carletto' has youth players Nico Paz and Gonzalo García in his core, who have already made their debut with the first team, for the Champions League duel. Also with Dani Ceballos who played 20 minutes at Nuevo Mirandilla, replacing Luka Modric. The Utrera midfielder has numbers to fill the position left by the Croatian this Wednesday, as well as Brahim Díaz.
Luka Modric, absent for the second day of training led by Ancelotti, has already started physiotherapy treatment with the aim of recovering from his ailments as soon as possible. At the moment, it is a doubt for Real Madrid's next league match, which will face Granada next Saturday, December 2, at the Santiago Bernabéu.
