Toni Kroos is a major doubt for the UCL first leg against Liverpool at Anfield. Modric is set to start tomorrow, Alvaro Rodríguez is in the squad to face Osasuna and more in today’s Real Madrid Daily Roundup.
Kroos at risk of missing 1st leg
The former Bayern midfielder is at risk of missing the game against Liverpool on the 21st of February. He got sick during the Club World Cup in Morocco.
Relevo reports, “Toni Kroos’ situation is bad. He won’t play tomorrow and won’t be at 100% for Liverpool. He’s going through very bad days, in which he has needed medical attention. He’s very weak after the virus and has lost weight and muscle mass.”

Despite a recent drop in form, Kroos has undoubtedly been one of Real Madrid’s best performers this season. His goals, assists and overall performances have been instrumental in the success of the team. His presence will definitely be missed if he doesn’t make it back in time.
Camavinga and Dani Ceballos will be the two alternatives to partner Modric and Tchouameni if Kroos misses out.
Team News for Osasuna
The Belgians, Courtois and Hazard have returned alongside Uruguayan youngster Alvaro Rodríguez who makes the squad after an impressive U20 tournament for his country.
Benzema, Kroos, Mendy and Mariano are all out of the squad.
In his pre match press conference, Ancelotti confirmed that he had a conversation with Modric and that the veteran midfielder prefers to start games. He said, “Modrić? I have talked to him and he said he prefers to start the games. He will start tomorrow.”
