Real Madrid's captain is set to miss the upcoming match against Racing Santander after being absent from training, according to reports from Madrid Universal on Saturday.
The Spanish giants are preparing for a Copa del Rey fixture against the second-division side, but the unnamed captain's absence from the session raises doubts over his availability.
No further details on the nature of the issue have been disclosed, but the player's absence suggests a possible injury or precautionary rest.
Real Madrid will hope to progress in the competition without their leader, with the match scheduled for later this week.
