- Gareth Bale's calf injury was confirmed this morning via an official statement released by the club. The Welsh player will be out 2-3 weeks and will certainly miss this Wednesday's Derby against Atlético de Madrid.
- Benzema will likely join him. The French striker has not been training with the squad since last Tuesday's match at the Calderón and according to both Marca and As the French striker is highly questionable for the return leg of the Quarterfinals against Atlético. Today, he did not train with his teammates either, just like Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.
- Considering all those injuries, expect Carlo Ancelotti to start Asier Illarramendi and Isco, as Nicholas Rigg writes. The Italian coach should then make a decision about starting either Chicharito or Jesé Rodríguez.
- Carlo Ancelotti was interviewed by an Italian radio station and said that he is "not concerned by the injuries". It might be time to be concerned though, Carlo.
