Real Madrid’s defensive woes increase for Olympiacos trip

MADRID: Real Madrid will face Olympiacos in Wednesday’s Champions League clash with a paper-thin defense after a new wave of injuries and illness struck on the eve of their crucial trip to Greece. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was ruled out with a stomach virus and the Spanish side will also be without key defenders Eder Militao and Dean Huijsen. Militao sustained an adductor muscle injury on international duty with Brazil and Huijsen stayed in Madrid as a precaution following a muscle strain suffered during Spain’s World Cup qualifier against Georgia.
