What They're Saying

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti (via Inside Spanish Football): "It's an important injury [to Luka Modric]. We don't know precisely when he will return because of the recovery. He's an important player, but we have to look forward because the squad is very competitive. We now have the chance to rectify the situation with other players."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: With the injury to Modric, Madrid must turn to Sami Khedira. The 27-year-old, out of favor with the club, has only featured in 47 minutes of play this season. In his last full season with the club (2012-13), Khedira averaged two tackles per match.

Eibar's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Irureta; Abraham, Redal, Ekiza, Boveda; Errasti, Garcia; Saul, Capa, Arruabarrena; Moral

Real Madrid's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Casillas; Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe, Arbeloa; Rodriguez, Kroos, Khedira, Bale; Benzema, Ronaldo
