Real Madrid full back Marcelo has been ruled out of the club's Champions League group stage opener against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
The Brazilian left back sustained the issue in the first half of Saturday's narrow 3-2 victory of Levante in La Liga, and though he was able to recover during the game to complete the 90 minutes for his side, he has since been ruled out of the midweek encounter.
The club revealed this with a statement on their official website, explaining: "After the tests carried out today on our player Marcelo by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a post-traumatic cervicodorsal injury.
