Carlo Ancelotti allayed fears that Karim Benzema and Eder Militao’s injuries could threaten their chances of facing Liverpool in the Champions League after both hobbled out of Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Valencia.
The defender looked to be suffering with a groin injury and Benzema with what looked like a hamstring problem.
But the Italian coach said: ‘Benzema is nothing major. The injury to Militao is more serious. [He] will not be available at the weekend against Mallorca.
Madrid travel to Mallorca before competing in the World Club Cup next week.
