This could make things easier for Los Blancos' struggling defense.

Real Madrid is gearing up for a Champions League clash on Tuesday. The Spanish giant will lock horns with Roma with the sole purpose of securing victory in Italy but will head into this tie on the back of an awful defeat.

In their last game, Solari's men fell to an embarrassing 3-0 loss at Eibar to hand their new manager his first defeat. Now, they must rally together and up their game at the Stadio Olimpico.

However, Los Blancos' struggling defense could be in for a huge boost, as Roma could be without one star man for this tie. That player is none other than Edin Dzeko.

This season's top scorer could be forced to sit out the home clash with the reigning champion after picking up a knock. This occurred during the final training session and he could now be replaced by Patrik Schick.

Given that the 32-year-old has scored five times in this competition already, his absence would make things a lot much easier for Ramos and Co. He could be another high-profile absentee for the Giallorossi, as Javier Pastore, Daniele De Rossi, Diego Perotti, and Lorenzo Pellegrini could also sit this one out.
