Spanish giants Real Madrid have held a training session ahead of their UEFA Champions League Group F clash against Polish champions Legia Warsaw.

Los Blancos finally managed to break a streak of 4 straight draws last weekend after demolishing Real Betis 6-1 in the Spanish La Liga.

But, there is some bad news for manager Zinedine Zidane as he will be without the services of Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric, Casemiro and Fabio Coentrao for the upcoming encounter due to injuries.

However, James Rodriguez could be available as he was back in training with the rest of the squad on Monday.

Real are level on points with Borussia Dortmund in their group and will need a huge victory in Tuesday’s home match against the Polish outfit to go to the top of the table.

That’s while Premier League champions Leicester City have also hit the training ground for their UEFA Champions’ League group stage match with Denmark’s FC Copenhagen.

The Foxes have played very poorly in their domestic league and are not as good as last year. They were beaten 3-0 by Chelsea last weekend which made it 3 matches in a row that they go without a victory.

But, this has not had any impact on Leicester’s performance in Europe so far as they have won both of their Champions League fixtures.

Claudio Ranieri's side smashed Belgium’s Club Brugge 3-0 in their first Group G match and then defeated Portuguese FC Porto 1-0 to lead the table with 6 points.

A victory at the King Power stadium will leave Leicester with one foot in the knockout stages.
