Real Madrid ravaged by injuries ahead of Spurs game

Real Madrid ravaged by injuries ahead of Spurs game

​Tottenham Hotspur may be all antsy over Harry Kane’s possible absence, but opponents Real Madrid are hardly in a better state.

It emerges, in fact, that Gareth Bale, Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane and Keylor Navas will all fail to make the trip to North London.

The two teams are tied on seven points at the top of their group.

The Lilywhites’ Group H date with destiny began well, namely two weeks ago, when they arguably outplayed the Merengues for chunks of their game at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Keylor Navas is a particularly big loss, having made a number of key saves.

Real Madrid have just published their squad list, and a lot of big names are out, with Dani Carvajal absent over the last few weeks because of a pericarditis.

Real Madrid have struggled of late anyway, having drawn two and lost two out of ten Liga games, going down to Girona at the weekend to give Barcelona an eight-point lead over the Merengues.
