Real Madrid suffers triple injury setback

Real Madrid have suffered fresh injury setbacks.

Marca says victory over Elche didn't come without a cost for Los Blancos as they suffered fresh injury concerns ahead of their Champions League tie with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Rodrygo will have an MRI carried out on either Monday or Tuesday after the Brazilian was forced off in the early stages.

His availability for the Champions League clash will depend on the decision of the club's medical staff.

Casemiro suffered a nasty blow to the nose but has suffered no further setback.

Barring any surprises, he will be fit to play in the Champions League game against Shakhtar.

Mariano Diaz, who made his first start of the season on Saturday, also suffered a hit to the nose which forced him to undergo an operation on Sunday morning.

For the next 10 days, Mariano will only be able to train alone or in exercises that do not involve physical contact. After that, he can resume training and play matches wearing a mask.
