Nacho: Real Madrid defender subbed off for first time in career
The defender limped off in the first half of the LaLiga clash at the Estadio Gran Canaria and is a doubt for the Champions League quarter-final.
Update:
Nacho limped off the turf at the Estadio Gran Canaria with 29 minutes on the clock, having suffered his first injury as a professional footballer at 28 years old.
Hamstring trouble was the reason for his withdrawal. Playing at right-back due to the absence of Dani Carvajal, Nacho first felt discomfort after attempting a shot on goal. Straight after Gareth Bale opened the scoring, he signalled to the bench and shuffled off, with Achraf taking his place.
At half-time, Nacho walked down the tunnel with Antonio Pintus, Real Madrid's fitness coach. He had cut a weary figure in the dugout, but the severity of his injury remains to seen.
