Surprising news came from one of Real Madrid's veteran midfielders, namely Luka Modric, who is reportedly suffering from a hamstring injury and it can be confirmed that he will be out for the next two weeks. This is clearly a loss for Real Madrid at the same time they will face Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals.
Ancelotti is certainly very confused because he lost one of his key players to face Manchester City later and it seems likely that Dani Ceballos will replace Luka Modric's position. But Real Madrid hopes that before the match starts Luka Modric can quickly recover from the injury he is currently experiencing. We are still waiting for further news and maybe this will be good news for Pep Guardiola if Luka Modric really cannot strengthen Real Madrid in the first leg later.
