MADRID — Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has injured a muscle in his right leg, making him a doubt to play at Chelsea in the Champions League semifinals.
Madrid did not add on Thursday how long its first-choice right back would be out. But the Spanish club is set to visit Stamford Bridge on Wednesday needing a win to advance to the final.
Madrid’s defence struggled against Chelsea in a 1-1 draw in their first leg in Spain this week.
Coach Zinedine Zidane hopes to have centre back Sergio Ramos and left back Ferland Mendy available for the second leg.
