Real Madrid have been dealt a double blow with Gareth Bale and Keylor Navas looking likely to miss this weekend’s clash with Valencia through injury.
Los Blancos host Los Che in crucial match as the look to overtake Barcelona and Atletico in La Liga. The 10-time Champions League winners are just one point behind their rivals with two games to go.
Bale, the goalscoring hero against Manchester City in the Champions League this week, has picked up a sprained knee while goalkeeper Navas has been diagnosed with Achilles tendinitis.
The club have not confirmed how long the pair will be out for and they face a race against time if they are to make if for the game against Valencia.
Bale has had an injury hit campaign but has been in great form in recent weeks. As well as netting the goal that sent his side to the Champions League final, he also netted twice against Rayo Vallecano and again against Real Sociedad.
Costa Rican shot stopper Navas has been in great form this campaign, keeping 21 clean sheets in 43 appearances.
After Valencia, Real travel to Deportivo in the final game of the league before taking on Atletico on May 28 in Milan.
