Real Madrid are facing a deepening injury crisis after it was confirmed that both Nacho and Casemiro are set for spells on the sidelines.
Brazil international midfielder Casemiro was forced off inside the opening 20 minutes of the Blancos' 4-2 win over Celta Vigo on Sunday, with the Santiago Bernabeu outfit confirming he has suffered a sprained ankle.
The issue is likely to keep him out for up to three weeks, and although the international break will ease the burden on Santiago Solari's squad somewhat, he could still miss upcoming clashes against Eibar and Roma.
