Real Madrid is going through a complicated moment. Not on a sporting level, since everything is going well for the Merengues on that side. They are already qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League while there are still two days to go, just as they are second in the La Liga standings, behind Girona who are maintaining an infernal pace. But in recent weeks, Carlo Ancelotti and his staff have received some very bad news.
In recent weeks, the Madrilenians have seen how several players have fallen. Aurélien Tchouaméni is the victim of a fracture and is not expected to return before the start of 2024. Same case for his compatriot Eduardo Camavinga, injured in the knee. Jude Bellingham, Madrid’s best player at the moment, was injured in the shoulder and was unable to play with his team. Arda Güler is still waiting to start, while Kepa has also been injured recently. A colossal list to which we must add the long-term injured Thibaut Courtois and Éder Militao… As well as Vinicius Junior.
A long-term absence
Indeed, during the duel played at the end of the week between Brazil and Colombia, the Canarinha winger had to leave his team before the half-hour mark. If the Brazilian and Spanish media believed that it was not going to be too serious, the verdict fell on Saturday: rupture in the biceps femoris of the left leg. As the media explains Relevo this Sunday, around three months of absence await the player! The player’s return is scheduled for February, and he will therefore miss a good number of matches.
The Iberian media indicates that Real Madrid are mad with rage. Not against the player, who can do nothing about it, but against international meetings and this famous FIFA virus. The Madrid staff considers that there are too many international matches and that this is detrimental to the teams. An overly busy schedule which has already caused two big victims on the Merengue side, with the Brazilian and Camavinga. An anger that does not date, since in the past, the Madrilenians had already publicly displayed their dissatisfaction with this overly busy schedule…
