Xabi Alonso broke down in tears after Key Real Madrid Star boy who was suppose to be the main man against Barcelona has been injured during international break
Real Madrid is facing a significant defensive injury crisis, with several key players sidelined and crucial matches approaching. The latest blow comes in the form of Dean Huijsen, who has joined the growing list of injured defenders. With five defenders nursing injuries, Xabi Alonso is facing a major challenge in finding suitable replacements for the upcoming fixtures against Getafe, Juventus, and Barcelona.
Injury Updates
The injury list includes Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been sidelined since mid-September and is unlikely to be fully fit for the Clásico against Barcelona. Dani Carvajal is also facing a similar situation, with his recovery period expected to last around a month, making his availability for the Clásico uncertain.
Long-Term Injuries
Antonio Rudiger’s injury is the most severe, ruling him out for three months and leaving a huge void in the heart of the defense. Ferland Mendy is another player whose absence remains unexplained, with no clear return date despite an initial estimate of three months.
Short-Term Injuries
Dean Huijsen’s injury, although less severe, will still keep him sidelined for around two weeks. However, he could be fit for the Juventus clash at the Santiago Bernabeu if his recovery goes as planned.
Implications for Upcoming Matches
The injury crisis will undoubtedly impact Real Madrid’s upcoming matches, particularly against Getafe, Juventus, and Barcelona. Xabi Alonso will need to find suitable replacements and adjust his tactics to compensate for the missing players. The team’s ability to navigate these challenges will be crucial in determining their success in the coming weeks.
