The curse of injuries returns to Chamartín and Ancelotti’s men are going crazy with so many absences. Despite this, the real Madrid will face a sixth matchday against Espanyol to take home the three points.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid prepare for their next LaLiga match against Espanyol, facing a complicated scenario due to several important absences in their squad. In addition to the already known absences due to injury, Brahim Díaz has recently been added, who suffered an abductor injury in the last match, which leaves him out of the squad. In addition, the Italian coach is still monitoring the progress of Éder Militao, whose participation in the match is still unknown due to some physical discomfort he is suffering from, however, he did not suffer any discomfort against Stuttgart. With this scenario, Ancelotti will have to adjust his strategy to maintain the team’s good rhythm in the competition.
Real Madrid have significant casualties, affecting both the defence and the midfield, as well as the young players from the youth system. Below we detail the situation of each of the injured players:
The Austrian defender has been suffering from a torn cruciate ligament since last season, an injury that has complicated his recovery. However, there is good news, as Alaba has returned to training with the group and his return is expected to be imminent. Madrid’s defence misses his experience and leadership in the back line, so his return would be an important boost for the team.
Ceballos is currently sidelined with a sprained ankle, an injury that will keep him out until mid-October. The Spanish midfielder is a key part of Ancelotti’s rotation and his absence limits options in midfield, especially at a time when the schedule is starting to get tight.
Camavinga suffered a sprained knee in training ahead of the European Super Cup final and has yet to play a competitive match this season. His return is expected to occur at the end of September. The absence of Camavinga, with his energy and versatility, is another significant loss for the team.
Brahim Diaz will be sidelined until December due to a groin injury he recently suffered. After undergoing medical tests, it has been confirmed that the Real Madrid midfielder will need several months of recovery, which will keep him out for much of the first part of the season.
Youth centre-back Jacobo Ramón, along with other youngsters such as Joan Martínez and César Palacios, is also injured with a thigh problem, which will keep him out until the end of September. Ramón’s injury limits Ancelotti’s options in defence, especially at a time when alternatives are scarce.
Real Madrid do not have any suspended players for this match.
