Champions League injury report, team news: Chelsea rule Thiago Silva out; Real Madrid without key contributors
The UEFA Champions League is back this week on CBS All Access and they do not come much bigger than what we saw last week in Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain’s first leg meeting or RB Leipzig’s clash with Liverpool.
Los Blancos are actually battling an injury crisis at present that sees coach Zinedine Zidane only just about capable of fielding an established starting XI against Atalanta on Wednesday. While Bayern Munich will similarly be without a couple of major contributors across their front line. Here is a closer look at Bayern, Real and the others’ list of absentees for this week’s games and beyond.
