Real Madrid's Marcelo Vieira da Silva Junior: Missing Legia match due to illness

Marcelo has fallen ill and will miss Wednesday's Champions League match versus Legia Warsaw, UEFA.com reports.

Analysis:

The fullback garnered a pair of assists versus Alaves over the weekend, but he seemingly is feeling under the weather and will be held out as Los Blancos face an inferior side on Matchday 4. Marcelo's absence will present Fabio Coentrao, who recently returned from injury, with an opportunity to join the first XI.
