Real Madrid Summer Signing Ruled Out of Super Cup Showdown With Thigh Strain

Real Madrid summer signing Alvaro Odriozola will miss their Super Cup showdown with Atletico Madrid and continue to be assessed after the club confirmed the defender has been diagnosed with a thigh strain.

New boss Julen Lopetegui confirmed last week that the £35m right back had suffered a knock during training, stating: "Alvaro Odriozola had a problem today, but otherwise everything is fine."

Lopetegui: ”The matches have been good and we’ve also shaped and worked on the pace of those who arrived later. We had Vallejo’s injury, who has muscle tear that will set him back for a few weeks.
