Real Madrid will have to cope without one of its starters during the next duel against FC Barcelona.
On October 28, Real Madrid will travel to their rival Barcelona for the first Clasico of the season. A crucial meeting that the Merengue will approach without a key player.
Ancelotti will have to rack his brain
The player in question is defender Nacho Fernandez. The Spanish international has just received a three-match suspension from La Liga for his violent tackle on a Girona player (last Sunday). Carlo Ancelotti would have done without this defection.
The Italian coach must now cross his fingers that his infirmary is emptied as soon as possible. David Alaba and Eder Militao, two players able to replace Nacho in the center, are still injured.
In addition to the match against Barça, Nacho Fernandez will also miss the matches against Osasuna and Sevilla. His club will appeal and hopes to be able to reduce this sanction by at least one match. If the appeal is successful, the player could therefore be part of the game against the Blaugrana.
