Despite having no club games for over two weeks and an international break, Real Madrid is struggling to break free from its injury issues. The squad is already suffering greatly due to ongoing troubles in its defensive line.
It appears that every time the defense begins to find some synergy with consistent minutes, a key member suffers an injury, causing the defensive roster to be distorted and gaps to be created.
The currently injured players are Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Jesus Vallejo, and Ferland Mendy. It would not be wrong to say that the players were among the most vital and consistent members of Real Madrid's defensive lineup, and their removal has already generated enough consternation among Los Blancos' management.
Another Real Madrid defender has gone due to injury
Los Blancos have few alternatives at left-back. Ferland Mendy is already sidelined for at least three weeks. Fran Garcia was the sole choice up until recently. According to reports, the athlete has also suffered an injury.
According to Marca, the Spanish defender departed the pitch in the last minutes of the encounter against Villarreal, and additional investigations have indicated that the left-back has a groin injury and may be out for the next several games.
According to the news agency, the player's injuries remained undiscovered because several players, including Garcia, slumped on the field after the exhausting experience, and it was interpreted as another gesture of release from combustion. However, this was not the case; the player collapsed owing to a perceived injury rather than fatigue.
Several individuals on the pitch received medical assistance, including Fran Garcia, but the latter's circumstance was distinct, as previously noted.
As things stand, Real Madrid has a significant gap at left-back that Carlo Ancelotti must address right now. This scenario is nothing short of a catastrophe for the club, and fresh options must be examined promptly. The team's upcoming game against Leganes on March 29th is crucial.
