Real Madrid are preparing for an important clash in La Liga. The Spanish Primera Division leaders face Villarreal on Sunday in a must-win league match for Zidane’s boys.
Despite boasting a game in-hand in La Liga, their 2-1 loss at Valencia has hampered their confidence. The gap between Los Blancos and closest rivals Barcelona is a single point, meaning failure to win for Cristiano and Co. could mean surrendering top spot.
As a result, news of a possible lengthy layoff for key defender Raphael Varane could not have come at a worse time. The Frenchman has been an integral figure in Real Madrid’s starting lineup, but will spend costly time on the sidelines after picking up an injury in the 2-1 defeat.
The defender lasted only 73 minutes that day, as he limped off the pitch with a hamstring injury. Les Merengues performed tests before revealing it to be a grade 2 muscle strain in his left hamstring.
This means Varane will miss the weekend trip to El Madrigal. Real Madrid failed to announce a return date, but similar injuries have required over a month of recovery in the past.
This has cast doubt over Varane’s availability for the second-leg Champions League clash with Napoli and a tricky test to Athletic Bilbao in the league. The European tie will be played on March 7 and the trip to Basque on March 18.
