6 Real Madrid Players On Risk Of Suspension
6 Real Madrid players will be on the verge of missing the 2nd leg vs Arsenal, when they take on the Gunners today in the 1st leg of the quarter finals of the champions league.
All of these players have picked up at least two yellow cards in the Champions League this season and are, therefore, only one more booking away from missing the second leg.
The 6 players that will be on the caution are:
1) Vinicius Junior– The current Mr. champions league, it doesn’t matter what form he is in the league or overall as he is still in the race for Golden boot. His absence will be sorely missed by the team and the madridistas hope that he does not take up any yellow cards in the 1st leg.
2) Antonio Rudiger– The German has been the most important part of the defense as he has seen many different centre-back partners but has stayed the pillar at the back. His winning penalty in the last round against city rivals Atletico Madrid shows how much he is trusted by the management and coach.
3) Eduardo Camavinga– The Frenchman is a key part in the midfield, he has been a regular substitute off the bench and has also played in the left-back position.

4) Luka Modric– Luka Modric- the evergreen midfield maestro has played an important role this season, even though at 39, he is still running the midfield in most of the matches. He will be a key part of the midfield, with Fede Valverde most probably starting at the Right-back position, Modric will feature in the midfield in the 1st leg and if doesn’t receive any cards, he will also be available for the 2nd leg.
5) Lucas Vasquez– Vasquez has been under criticism for most parts of the season but has proved to be a great addition to the team as he agreed to play in the Right-back position after an ACL injury to Dani Carvajal.
6) Endrick– The Brazilian is one of the super subs who has started to come regularly in the later minutes of the match. He has proved his efficiency in the Copa del Rey as he has produced 5 goals in 5 matches. He is also eager to prove his mentality in the champions league. His addition to the squad adds more depth.
Moreover, it must be noted that even Carlo Ancelotti is facing a suspension risk having already picked up multiple yellow cards this season.

If the Italian is once again caught for transgression, he will not be allowed to spend the second leg on the touchline.
