MADRID: Real Madrid defender Alvaro Carreras will miss Wednesday’s Champions League match against Manchester City, while superstar striker Kylian Mbappe did not train on Monday with his team-mates as he recovers from a knee sprain.
Madrid’s top goalscorer Mbappe is not expected to feature at the Santiago Bernabeu against Pep Guardiola’s side because of the knee problem which has bothered him since last December.
Carreras “has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the calf of his right leg”, Madrid said in a statement Monday, without specifying how long he is expected to miss.
