Real Madrid may be without star defender Marcelo when the team faces Chelsea in a Champions League match next week and the potential absence is for an unusual reason.
Marcelo, a star Brazilian defender and starting fullback for Los Blancos, was selected by the the Spanish government to work at the polls on May 4, when there will be elections for seats in the Madrid Assembly, according to the Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
El Mundo reported that Marcelo was “very upset by his electoral luck.”
All registered voters in Spain are eligible to be selected to work at the polls.
