Official: 2 miss out as Real Madrid name squad to take on Olympiacos | OneFootball

The squad of players called upon by La Liga giants Real Madrid to face Olympiacos has been unveiled online.

And it features a fresh pair of noteworthy absences.

Between the posts, Thibaut Courtois will play no part in Greece, owing to a sudden bout of illness.

And moving into defence, Dean Huijsen has also not been called up, dealing with an apparent muscular complaint.

The news in the middle of the park is of a more encouraging nature, on the other hand, with Aurélien Tchouaméni back in the thick of things following a spell on the sidelines.

Xabi Alonso’s troops will of course make the trip to Athens with sights on a much-needed bounce-back result.

Held to a 2-2 draw by La Liga newcomers Elche over the weekend, Los Blancos have now not emerged on the right side of the result in any of their last three fixtures across all competitions.
