With Real Madrid struggling with form, one thing they could do without is injuries. Los Blancos has won only one of their last four games in all competitions – but in all fairness, two of those ties came against Tottenham and Atletico Madrid.
Having drawn 0-0 in La Liga in the Madrid Derby to fall 10 points behind leaders Barcelona, Zidane’s side shifts focus to the Champions League. Unfortunately, the defending champion has been hit with an unfortunate injury.
Real Madrid will be without captain Sergio Ramos for their midweek tie. Luckily, Zidane’s crew faces last-placed APOEL. Unfortunately, it is an away game meaning there is a chance of an upset by the club from Cyprus.
The Spanish center-back suffered a broken nose in the goalless draw with Simeone’s men after being kicked in the face, leaving him on the floor bleeding. Ramos was thus left out of Los Blancos’ squad for Tuesday’s game.

The skipper will join the likes of Keylor Navas and Gareth Bale on the sidelines for the trip to APOEL. Zizou knows the importance of winning in Nicosia, as a slip-up could hand third-placed BVB the chance to move within two points of second spot.
