Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that Real Madrid is “in emergency” before his confrontation with Manchester City.
The European defenders, who beat Borussia Dortmund in the final of last year, ended with the draw of the round when they were attracted to face Manchester City in the play-off round of the Champions League.
The games will take place during the next fortnight, with the first of the two games that will be played in Manchester on February 11 and the return section in Madrid on February 18.
The two parties have been played twice in the last two years, with one side of each other. City was victorious on his way to lift the trophy in 2022-23, while Madrid won sanctions on his route to the victory of the tournament last season.
It is a tie that offers the possibility of redemption for one side, with both fighting in the new initial league phase, with City near the elimination on the last day of the game.
But Madrid has been hit, Ancelotti has revealed, and two of its central defenders disconnected their existing injuries, and both will be lost the games.

They will be without both players for their confrontations with City, who start next week
'We are in an emergency, since both (Antonio) Rudiger and (David) Alaba will leave for 20 days. The only options in the return center are Jacobo Ramon, Raul Asencio and Tchouameni.
Madrid has been fighting the injuries throughout the season, with Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal suffering long -term problems in October and November, respectively.
On Saturday, Madrid lost against Spanish in LaLiga, with its advantage to its rivals and the closest opponents, Atlético de Madrid cut to a point.
To make things worse, Madrid will face Atlético in the action of the League this weekend, with the potential that its long -standing leadership at the top of the table could evaporate.
In the defeat of Spanish, Rudiger played in the central defender with Tchouameni, but the former Chelsea star has been discarded from the city's clashes. One of Ramón or Asencio will now be associated with French for the city games and Atlético.
Ramón, 20, has played in the Champions League before, against Red Bull Salzburg, but has not yet appeared in LaLiga. It was promoted to the configuration of the senior equipment in the summer.
Meanwhile, Asencio has played four times in the Champions League and 10 times in LaLiga, and is the most likely option to present.
