Real Madrid team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Chelsea

Real Madrid injury, suspension list vs. Chelsea

Real Madrid will seek a measure of revenge against Chelsea when they take on the Blues in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

Los Blancos were eliminated from the tournament by Thomas Tuchel's side last term but produced an astounding comeback to beat Paris Saint-Germain in the last-16 this time around.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were far from their best in Saturday's La Liga battle with Celta Vigo, but a pair of Karim Benzema penalties ultimately propelled them to a 2-1 success.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Real Madrid's injury and suspension news ahead of the first leg.


Eden Hazard

Status: Out Type of injury: Leg Possible return date: Unknown

The injury-plagued Eden Hazard recently went under the knife to treat an osteosynthesis plate on his right fibula, so the ex-Chelsea man will miss out on a reunion with his old club as he recovers for another few weeks.


Luka Jovic

Status: Out Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: Unknown

Out-of-favour striker Luka Jovic was not available for the meeting with Celta due to ankle discomfort, and he has also been left out of the squad for Wednesday's game.


Isco

Status: Out Type of injury: Back Possible return date: April 9 (vs. Getafe)

Isco trained with the team ahead of the first leg but will not be at Ancelotti's disposal due to reported back problems, and he is facing a race against time to be fit for the weekend's clash with Getafe.


REAL MADRID'S SUSPENSION LIST

Real Madrid have no players suspended for the first leg, but Eder Militao will miss the second leg if he is booked here.
