UCL: Vulnerable Jude-less Madrid at risk of flopping at Leipzig

Real Madrid return to action in Europe on Tuesday night at RB Leipzig without its best player, Jude Bellingham.Carlo Ancelotti will have to find a replacement for the mesmerizing Englishman, with Aurelien Tchouameni probably stepping into midfield in place of injured Bellingham. The alternative to the French midfielder could also be Brahim Diaz, but in every scenario, the absence of the England international will be difficult to hide. Along with him, the list of injured players in the Royal’s squad comprises the likes of Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, David Alaba, and Antonio Rudiger.Injured Bellingham set to miss UCL tie against LeipzigOn the other hand, Leipzig is coming into the match without major injury issues and are expected to put out a team with plenty of attacking talent, too. Marco Rose will probably opt for a 4-4-2 formation featuring Benjamin Sesko and Lois Openda up front. Behind them, Dani Olmo and Xavi Simons will provide plenty of creativity. However, the ten goals they conceded in the last four Bundesliga games (along with a single clean sheet in the previous 16 matches) speaks about their main issue – lousy defence.##NAJAVA_MECA_7873257##Now, it’s up to Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. to make the most of that setup and pave the way to the Champions League quarter-finals.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE1/8 finalsTuesday the 13th23:00: (10.0) Copenhagen (5.00) Man.City (1.33)23:00: (3.20) RB Leipzig (3.50) Real Madrid (2.20)Wednesday the 14th23:00: (1.68) PSG (3.70) Sociedad (5.40)23:00: (6.25) Lazio (4.10) Bayern (1.55)Tuesday the 20th23:00: (2.00) Inter (3.40) Atl.Madrid (3.90)23:00: (2.15) PSV (3.45) Dortmund (3.35)Wednesday the 21st23:00: (4.10) Porto (3.50) Arsenal (1.90)23:00: (2.70) Napoli (3.35) Barcelona (2.60)***odds are subject to change***
