Los Blancos' hopes of landing a La Liga and
Champions League double have been hit
following the news that two of their best stars
this term are set for spells on the sidelines Real
Madrid have been dealt a double blow in their
bid for La Liga and Champions League glory
after revealing Gareth Bale and Keylor Navas
have sustained injuries.
Bale has suffered a sprained knee joint, while
Navas picked up an ankle injury against
Manchester City on Wednesday that has been
diagnosed as Achilles tendinitis.
Madrid are yet to reveal how long they expect
both Bale and Navas to be out of action for,
leaving manager Zinedine Zidane sweating on
the results of further tests.
Bale has sparkled in recent weeks by scoring
winners against Rayo Vallecano and Real
Sociedad, before providing the cross which
brought about the winner which sent Los
Blancos into the Champions League final at the
expense of Manuel Pellegrini's City on
Wednesday.
Navas, on the flip side, has been one of
Madrid's best performers throughout the
campaign, keeping 21 clean sheets in 43
appearances so far this season.
The Spanish giants face Valencia and Deportivo
in their final two Liga matches as they look to
keep pace with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at
the top of the table.
Madrid are also vying for their second
Champions League crown in three years and
11th in total when they face fierce rivals Atletico
on 28 May.
