- Real Madrid have confirmed that Marcelo suffered a calf injury in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Getafe.
- "Following tests carried out today on our player Marcelo by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscular injury to his left soleus. His recovery will continue to be assessed," the club said in an official statement on Wednesday.
- The left-back was replaced by Victor Chust in the 86th minute of the Getafe encounter.
- He's set to miss La Liga clash with Valencia on Sunday.
- Thus, Zinedine Zidane will have only three fit defenders for the Bats' visit to the Spanish capital - Raphael Varane, Nacho and Ferland Mendy.
- Marcelo has now joined Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, Lucas Vazquez, Toni Kroos, Alvaro Odriozola, Fede Valverde, Eden Hazard, Eder Militao and Rodrygo in the Madrid treatment room.
