Marcos Llorente out for several weeks due to thigh injury Real Madrid Blow for Real Madrid

Real Madrid midfielder Marcos Llorente will be sidelined for the next few weeks due to a thigh injury.

Before the winter break, the 23-year-old had managed to start in eight consecutive games for Los Blancos and scored in the Club World Cup final against Al Ain.

Although the timing is far from ideal for Santiago Solari's side, with an intense schedule coming up in January, Casemiro has fully recovered from his injury and is ready to replace the Spaniard.
