Real Madrid Squad Update: Modric Sidelined, Brahim & Theo Zidane Make Cut for UEFA Champions League Clash

Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League Squad Announcement for Napoli Showdown

Real Madrid has publicized its roster in preparation for the upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Napoli, set to be hosted at Santiago Bernabeu.

The Los Blancos are gearing up for an intense encounter on Wednesday night against the reigning Serie A Champions.

Carlo Ancelotti, the team's manager, faces the challenge of navigating through a string of injuries affecting several key players in the squad. 

Notably absent from the announced roster is Luka Modric, the seasoned Croatian player, nursing a thigh strain sustained during the Sunday evening match against Cadiz. Modric's absence marks a significant setback for Real Madrid in the forthcoming game.

Conversely, Brahim Diaz's return from an intestinal issue provides a positive boost to the squad's options ahead of the crucial match.

Adding to Modric's absence, injuries have sidelined Kepa Arrizabalaga, Vinicius, Militao, Courtois, Camavinga, and Tchouameni, posing a considerable challenge for Real Madrid's selection and strategy against Napoli.
