Real Madrid injury crisis as Zidane is left with just 12 fit first-team players following Militao injury

Real Madrid have been left in the grip of a remarkable injury crisis following an injury to centre-back Eder Militao.

Zinedine Zidane’s side, who overcame Huesca 2-1 on Saturday, were without the defender for that match as he was suspended following a red card in the shock defeat to Levante the previous week.

Militao, however, faces an extended period on the sidelines. He underwent tests on Sunday as the team trained, but failed these and will be unable to play against Getafe in midweek.
