Luka Modric and Karim Benzema were unable to travel with Real Madrid to RB Leipzig for their Champions League match because of ailments, but Carlo Ancelotti insists that his team is not playing in fear of injuries before the World Cup.
Madrid has a game in hand to clinch first place in Group F by defeating Leipzig on Tuesday. Madrid currently leads Leipzig by four points at the top of the group.
Benzema suffered a muscle injury against Sevilla so he was not included in the squad against Leipzig while Modric was not included in the squad but the reason is still unknown
even so, madrid have a good record and are unlikely to lose easily to leipzig just because modric and benzema don't play
