Real Madrid defender Marcelo could miss the second leg of Los Blancos Champions League semi-final against Chelsea because he’s been selected to serve at a polling station the day before the game.
Elections for the Madrid Assembly take place on Tuesday 4 May with Los Blancos’ European fixture happening 24 hours later. Marcelo’s teammates are set to travel to London on Tuesday but he would be unable to unless he is excused of his polling station duties.
According to El Mundo, the Electoral Board have argued that Marcelo could travel on the morning of the game. However, this may not be permitted due to coronavirus regulations. Real and the player’s representatives are said to be negotiating but no agreement has been reached yet, leaving the left-back in limbo.
