Real Madrid left-back (Madrid) Marcelo received a fractured foot on the leg and will be absent from the game at least until the end of the year, news agency reported. Marcelo received an injury while training for the national team of Brazil Cup in the Polish city Wroclaw before tomorrow's friendly against Japan.

The initial diagnosis of an ankle sprain is not confirmed, and studies showed fracture on the heel metatarsal bone in his right foot. The doctor of "Selecao" Rodrigo Lasmar said the defender is likely to be operated.

Marcelo went to Madrid where Real Madrid doctors will decide how to continue the recovery. The injury is another blow for coach of the Spanish Champion Jose Mourinho after he and the other left defender of the composition Fabio Koentrao receive an injury of Portugal's World Cup qualifier against Russia. Koentrao was forcibly replaced in the first half with muscle strain in the 0:1 defeat in Moscow on Friday.
