Injured Uche to Miss Bernabeu Trip.

Vilareal striker Ikechukwu Uche is a major doubt for this weekend’s La Liga clash against Real Madrid.

The Nigeria international suffered a hamstring injury in his club’s 3-1 league win over Ossasuna. He lasted for 43 minutes before he was substituted.

Subsequent scan on the injury shows the forward has suffered a hamstring strain in his right leg and will now miss the league game at Real Madrid on Saturday, club medics have revealed.
