The Madrid defender will not be available at this crucial stage of the season

Real Madrid will be without key defender Raphael Varane for the Clasico, as well as likely both legs of their Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool.

“Real Madrid C. F. informs that our player Raphael Varane tested positive in the COVID-19 test he underwent this morning,” said Madrid in a statement on Tuesday.

Los Blancos are already without defenders Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal, and so will have a makeshift back line for the games, with Nacho, Eder Militao and Ferland Mendy likely to form a back three.
