Lately only individual training

MADRID. That is bitter: Toni Kroos Real Madrid will most likely not be available for the time being. As several reporters – including from the TV station LA SEXTA and the radio station CADENA COPE – reported on Thursday afternoon, the German midfield strategist is suffering from an injury to the hamstring in his left leg. On Friday, an MRI scan is said to have shown that it is a micro-crack.

It is said that his failure against Real Sociedad (Saturday, 9 p.m., in the REAL TOTAL-Live ticker and at DAZN) In addition, he will almost certainly miss the showdown with Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the Champions League (March 9, 9 p.m.).

Ancelotti isn’t writing off Kroos

Coach Carlo Ancelotti is not writing him off yet. „(Federico) Valverde has no problem getting into the next game. And I think that also applies to Kroos. It’s a very small issue that I think hopefully can be resolved very quickly.” said the Italian Friday in conversation with the presswhereupon he spoke somewhat contradictory about it, his number 8 “I think it will be five or six days off”. However, that would be too much to play against Paris.

Kroos is said to have not taken part in training on Thursday, although the club itself did not provide any information on this. Most recently, the 32-year-old has only worked individually a few times – in retrospect, that should obviously have been the first sign of the injury.

In addition to Toni Kroos: Real is also missing against PSG Casemiro

Ancelotti has to compensate for the absence of the suspended Casemiro in the second leg against PSG in midfield. Kroos was actually planned as his replacement for six. Only Luka Modrić, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Isco and Daniel Ceballos would be available to the Italian for the positions there in 4-3-3. Losing 1-0 in the first leg, Los Blancos need a comeback at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu next week to progress to the quarter-finals of the premier league.
