The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and La Liga Champions, Real Madrid have been striked by injur!es ahead of the crucial league and Champions league games. Real Madrid defender David Alaba has suffered an inj-ry to his adductor in his left leg, Real Madrid’s official website confirmed on Tuesday morning.
“Following tests carried out on our player David Alaba by Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with an adductor injury in his left leg. His progress is being monitored,” the statements reads.
Real Madrid are already without German centre-back Antonio Rudiger for the next 20 days, and Eder Militao is out for the entire season as well. That officially means that Real Madrid have no senior centre-backs available.
Raul Asencio and Aurelien Tchouameni are the two players available who can play at centre-back. The former is an academy player who Carlo Ancelotti only trusts when there are no other options, and the latter is a makeshift centre-back who has not had a good time at centre-back this season.
Real Madrid will be without a senior centre-back in three of their most important games of the season, and it remains to be seen how Ancelotti copes with that.
