Real Madrid will be without two of its key players for the first leg against the Londoners when he will face Arsenal in champions league.
There are still several weeks to go until Real Madrid travels to London to face Arsenal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. However, it’s worth noting that there are already some certainties that directly affect the Whites ahead of that crucial clash at the Emirates Stadium.
In fact, Carlo Ancelotti already has two problems to deal with for the first leg against Arsenal on London soil. Despite the fact that there is just under a month to go, the reality is that the Whites have several problems regarding their squad selection for that match because there are two players they won’t be able to count on for such an important match.
Ferland Mendy was injured in the match against Atlético de Madrid this past Wednesday, and his presence against Arsenal is very complicated, if not impossible, considering he needs between three and four weeks of recovery. The fact is that the French full-back would not be the only potential absence Carlo Ancelotti will have for that match.
The match against Atlético de Madrid brought another piece of bad news in the area of possible absences. Unlike Mendy, which is speculative based on timescales, this one is an absolute certainty. Tchouaméni will not be able to play at the Emirates Stadium. He will be unable to do so after receiving a yellow card in the match against Atlético Madrid. The French midfielder was already on suspension and received the card that will prevent him from playing in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals in London.
