On Wednesday, Real Madrid enjoyed a memorable game. Despite everyone predicting Los Blancos to be dismantled, the defending champions beat PSG 3-1 to gain the upper hand ahead of the return leg.
A brace from Cristiano Ronaldo and a late goal from Marcelo earned Zidane’s side victory. However, they know it’s not over ahead of the Parc des Princes encounter.
And now, the Spanish giant has been handed a huge worry ahead of the second leg. According to Marca, star midfielder Toni Kroos is facing a race against time to be fit for the trip to Paris.
The German was one of the hardest workers from the 3-1 win, running 13kms, the most distance covered by any Real Madrid player in that game. Unfortunately, he picked up a strain which has now resulted in a knee ligament injury. Only time will tell whether he will fully recover in time for the clash with PSG in early March.
This was confirmed via an examination on Friday. He is now set to rest the league clash with Real Betis on Sunday, with Mateo Kovacic set to replace him.
