Soccer-Real defender Samuel out for Kiev match

MADRID, Nov 1 - Real Madrid defender Walter Samuel
will not travel to the Ukraine for a Champions League Group B
clash against Dynamo Kiev on Wednesday after injuring his knee
last week, the club said on Monday.

The 26-year-old Argentine centre-back damaged the cartilage
in his right knee in a King's Cup victory over third-division
Leganes.

Real, Kiev and Bayer Leverkusen are tied on six points from
three games in Group B. AS Roma have yet to earn a point.
