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.

Without a doubt this is a terrible blow against Real Madrid, even with their full squad Manchester City was already the favorite, now that they are losing one of their key pieces then Real Madrid is going to face a very difficult match, now they may have other good players on their roster but they will lack the chemistry Modric already had with he rest of the players, all in all Real Madrid needs to do their best to tie the first leg or at least not lose in a disastrous way so they can have a chance once Modric recovers.

In fact, it is reported that Modric will miss the 4 matches that Real Madrid will play in these 2 weeks, including 2 domestic league matches, the Copa Del Rey final, and the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, these matches are very important for Real Madrid. It is true that the chemistry that has been built with other players will be lost without Modric and I agree with your opinion.

However, the latest news seems to be true that Ceballos will fill Modric's place temporarily and that could end up in the match against Manchester City later if Modric hasn't recovered either. Yes, we can only hope that in the first leg Real Madrid will win first or at least hold Manchester City to a draw, so that in the second leg Real Madrid will appear with a full squad with Modric to qualify for the Champions League final.

Is this a strategy for Real Madrid not to plan with luka Modric
He is a very important part of the squad missing him is like missing two important players
Ancellotti has said they will plan and forge ahead if he is not present with the squad
