Champions League: Players set to miss the semi-final due to injury or suspension, Predicted Lineups

Real Madrid

Gareth Bale will be out for at least a month

Zinedine Zidane also has a few injuries to contend with ahead of the big clash. The biggest miss would be Gareth Bale who will miss the clash after he suffered a calf injury. The Welsh forward was risked in El Clasico and had to be substituted in the first half. The injury will keep him out for at least a month.

Centre-back Pepe is also out after having suffered a rib injury earlier in April. In the Madrid derby in La Liga, a collision with Toni Kroos saw the Portuguese defender fracture his seventh and eighth ribs on the left side. This is not his first rib injury and the last time he had only bruised them and that alone saw him sidelined for a month.

Raphael Varane may be available but he may not start the game. The French defender had limped off 11 minutes into a La Liga clash with Alaves in the first week of April. Nacho has been playing alongside Sergio Ramos in the centre-back role and he could start this game.

Predicted Lineup: Keylor Navas; Dani Carvajal, Nacho, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Casemiro, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos; Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco, Karim Benzema
