Real Madrid have mounting fitness concerns ahead of their Champions League clash with Tottenham Hotspur.

The La Liga champions may be without first choice goalkeeper Keylor Navas for next Tuesday’s game at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Navas returned early from international duty with Costa Rica and is being treated at Real’s medical facility for a groin injury, Marca report.

Navas has already been ruled out of this weekend’s fixture with Getafe, and faces a battle to be fit to face Spurs.

This would leave Real calling on back-up Kiko Casilla to face Tottenham’s in-form Harry Kane. The 31-year-old has played just once this season.

Navas is not the only injury concern Real are dealing with.

Star man and former Spurs star Gareth Bale has already been ruled out, while midfielder Mateo Kovacic and defender Dani Carvajal will miss the game.

Tottenham meanwhile have been given an injury boost, with Danny Rose and Erik Lamela returning to training yesterday.
