An injury to defender Marcelo has compounded a difficult few days for Real Madrid after its Clasico defeat to Barcelona.
Real Madrid defender Marcelo suffered an injury to his left adductor muscle during Saturday's 4-0 defeat against rival Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Brazilian fullback was one of few Madrid players to impress in the Clasico reversal but was withdrawn prior to the hour in the capital.
And, after a difficult period for the club, Marcelo will now miss Wednesday's Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk.
"Following the tests carried out on Marcelo today in the Sanitas la Moraleja University Hospital, the player has been diagnosed with an injury in his left adductor muscle," read a Madrid statement.
