Injury Report
Real Madrid: Real don’t have any serious injury concerns, only Ognjen Kuzmic and Melwin Pantzar are out but they weren’t going to be in the rotation anyway so it’s not a big deal.
Milano: Arturas Gudaitis remains out with a Torn ACL. Andre Cinciarini has been missing time with illness, but he’s been out for multiple weeks now so it’s more likely that he’s out of the rotation while Simone Fontecchio will likely be out too but isn’t in the rotation normally anyway so it’s not a big absentee.
