How Real Madrid will line up against Legia Warsaw

There are numerous injury problems for the defending champion to consider, while Alvaro Morata could even replace Karim Benzema in the attack.

Real Madrid might have swept past Legia Warsaw 5-1 when the sides met at the Bernabeu a couple of weeks ago, but for the return trip to Poland things are rather more complicated for Zinedine Zidane’s side.

The French coach has a number of injury problems to consider ahead of this match, with Casemiro, Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo and James Rodriguez all set to miss out.

In the heart of his defense he is set to field Nacho Fernandes, while Danilo will be preferred to Fabio Coentrao on the left of the back four, with the Portuguese still aiming to find his best form after injury.
