Real Madrid will be without their captain and talisman as they bid to win a fifth FIFA Club World Cup title

manager Carlo Ancelotti has a selection headache for the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final with Egypt’s Al Ahly on Wednesday.Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, forward Karim Benzema and defenders Eder Militao, Lucas Vazquez, and Ferland Mendy did not make the trip to Morocco on Monday.

But Benzema and Militao, who were substituted with leg injuries in Real Madrid’s La Liga win against Valencia on Thursday, are not expected to be sidelined for too long. Courtois, Benzema, and Militao will stay in Madrid for treatment but are expected to join their teammates in Rabat later in the week if their treatment goes as planned.

“We will not throw any tournaments away, we are very close… In the Cup semi-finals, last 16 in Europe, Club World Cup semis,” Ancelotti said last week.“LaLiga wants its share, FIFA wants its share, UEFA wants its share, Spanish FA wants its share… They won’t allow us to have a day to rest.Courtois says players are just cannon fodder in football’s money
