Infected pimple caused by shaving legs rules Real Madrid star out of Champions League opener

Los Blancos will go in search of a third straight Champions League title this season.

Real Madrid rising star Marco Asensio will miss his club's Champions League opener on Wednesday night due to an infection caused by shaving his legs.

Real coach Zinedine Zidane told reporters at a press conference that the 21-year-old would not feature against APOEL Nicosia because of a pimple which prevented him from pulling his sock up.
