Real Madrid have confirmed defender Raphael Varane will miss their Champions League quarter-final first leg on Tuesday against Liverpool, after testing positive for coronavirus.
This means Zinedine Zidane will be without his first-choice central defender, as Sergio Ramos is already sidelined with a calf problem.
Varane and Ramos will likely miss the second leg at Anfield next Wednesday, April 14.
Zidane is set to start Nacho Fernandez and Eder Militao in the first leg.
Zidane also hinted over the weekend that Eden Hazard could be fit after a hip injury but the former Chelsea man was not named in the Spaniards’ squad.
