Wales vs Croatia doesn't end well for Zidane and Real Madrid
Wales hosted Croatia in their Euro 2020 qualifiers match on Sunday. Real Madrid were dealt with a blow as Luka Modric and Gareth Bale picked up injuries.
Sunday night's Euro 2020 qualifier clash between Wales and Croatia proved to be a real loss for Real Madrid as they saw their key players Gareth Bale and Luka Modric meet with some potential injuries. Gareth Bale-inspired Wales came back from a goal down to end the match 1-1 with Croatia. Ryan Giggs' side can still make it to the Euro 2020 if they manage to beat Azerbaijan and Hungary in their final two qualifiers with a bit of luck.
Real Madrid in trouble as Gareth Bale and Luka Modric pick up injuries
As Wales and Croatia shared a point each, Zinedine Zidane will be eagerly waiting to find out the extent of injuries to Luka Modric and Gareth Bale. Bale looked to be struggling throughout the match but was forced to be on the field due to Wales using all their substitutions. However, Ryan Giggs cleared the news by stating that Bale's injury is not that serious and it was his decision to not come off. The Wales boss praised the Real Madrid player.
Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric left the field after a tackle on Harry Wilson for which he saw a yellow card. The midfielder left the pitch in discomfort with Milan Badelj replacing him in the final minutes.
Real Madrid have some crucial games lined up for them after the international break. An important clash against Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League group stage and a LaLiga lead to maintain. The much anticipated El Clasico is just two weeks away and the Whites will be hoping for their star players to be in good shape.
