4 key Real Madrid players could miss crucial Copa del Rey encounter

Vinicius Jr, Eder Militao, Rodrygo and Federico Valverde could miss the Copa del Rey quarterfinals (if they qualify for this stage, of course) as they all have been handed international call-ups.

The Copa del Rey encounter is scheduled for February 2. Brazil and Uruguay will play the 2022 World Cup qualifiers on January 28 and February 2.

International fixtures usually don't take place in the winter. This time, however, they had to be postponed because of the earlier Covid-related delays in matches.

Luckily, all these players will be able to play in La Liga matches.
