Real Madrid boss Mourinho admits top trio struggling to make Spurs date

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho says they could be missing three major players for their Champions League clash with Tottenham.

Mourinho was speaking after their shock home defeat to Sporting Gijon.

He said: "If (Cristiano) Ronaldo does play, it is because he and I are taking a risk. Our doctor says that he will only be ready to face Athletic Bilbao next weekend, the same with (Karim) Benzema. Marcelo is out for two weeks."

"Tomorrow, I'll talk to the injured players and only then will I decide whether we take the risk."
