Real Madrid is out victory is very expensive against Osasuna. Despite the victory and the good play shown by the team, especially in the second half, the feelings are not good in the white locker room. They got the three points, yes, but they lost three key players from the team: Militao, Lucas Vázquez and Rodrygo.
After the match, the Brazilian central defender underwent medical tests to find out the extent of the injury and the medical report could not have been worse: complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament With injuries to both menisci of his right leg, Militao says goodbye to a season where Real Madrid is short-staffed.
The team is small and has been since pre-season, when Ancelotti He seemed happy with the players he had. The Italian sinned by not putting pressure on the club and is now faced with an unprecedented situation in his career: seven first team players are injured, He has no right back available and only has one healthy center back.. The White team’s defense could hardly be more exhausted.
Courtesy Carvajal; Military; To rent out; Lucas Vázquez Tchouaméni and Rodrygo make up the list of players that Real Madrid have in the infirmary. Of the seven injured, four are therefore defenders on the board of directors now it will be his turn go to the winter market.
After Carvajal’s injury and the poor run of results the team has experienced, speculation has already started at Concha Espina about the need to strengthen in January. Now, with another injury, necessity has become an obligation. However, in the meantime the solution is in the career.
Raúl Asencio He had the match of his dreams at the Santiago Bernabéu against Osasuna. The Real Madrid Castilla player has more than replaced Militao and shown that he can be the Rüdiger’s partner at the back of the defense. The young player delivered a spectacular pass to Jude Bellingham for Madrid’s second goal and was very confident in cutting the ball away.
In the post-match press conference, Ancelotti was full of praise for the player: “Asencio played very well, he was a nice surprise. You have to appreciate the work that Raúl did with him. Right now we need him,” admitted the Italian who placed the youngster ahead of Jesús Vallejo.
Since last season, Raúl Asencio had already entered the dynamic of the first team during a few training sessions, but had not made his debut with Real Madrid. The match against Osasuna scores a before and after in his role within the team.
The career under minimum
Raúl Asencio won’t be the only player Ancelotti will have to rely on in the youth system, although the Italian doesn’t have many options to choose from either. Jacobo Ramon He is also not available for Raúl González since he is also injured, while Jeanne Martinez He suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee during the preseason and is not a viable option.
Lucas Vázquez’s muscle injury means Ancelotti has no players available at right-back. The option of Jesus Fortea17 years old, is gaining more and more strength, although for the moment the Italian is looking at what he has in the squad: “Valverde played right back today, which seems good to me… it’s is what we have.”
Sergio Ramos It is one of the requests from Madrid fans to strengthen the defense and in addition, the Cameroonian could also play at right back where he started his career. The Madrid board did not consider his returnbut it might be a valid option given the situation you find yourself in.
May 26 was the last time Sergio Ramos wore shorts. He did so in Sevilla’s defeat against Barça at the Sánchez Pizjuán. The central defender left the Sevilla club at the end of the season and is currently free agent. Even though he hasn’t played in over five months, Ramos hasn’t been inactive, but rather has been training hard to come back as best as possible.
The cameraman hasn’t hung up yet. Still 38 years old has not decided to retire professional football and is waiting for his brother and agent, René Ramos, to offer him a sporting project that you like. Since leaving Sevilla, Sergio Ramos has received several offers, but none have come to fruition. Your wish is continue in Europe, in the eliteI would therefore not hesitate to accept a hypothetical call from Real Madrid.
The calendar until January
While waiting to know the extent of Lucas Vázquez’s injury, Real Madrid will have to play nine days in advance until the opening of the winter market. The requirement of the calendar allows no sighing and given the situation that the white team is going through, the mind is already turned towards the next match.
After the national team break, the Leganes It will be the next rival who will measure the reaction of Real Madrid after the crisis that the team is going through. After the Madrid derby, a bogeyman from Europe awaits the white team: the Liverpool. Arne Slot’s men are the only team to have won every match played so far in the championship stage of the Champions. Moreover, at Anfield they want revenge for the lost final in 2022.
Defeats against Lille and the Milan They limited Real Madrid’s margin of error to qualify directly for the round of 16. After the English, Getafe, Athletic and Girona These are the next league commitments; while in the Champions League he will travel to Bergamo to face the Atalantatheir rival in the European Super Cup final which the Whites ended up winning.
After facing the Italian club, Madrid will have Rayo Vallecano and Seville in the league before the Christmas holidays. But in the meantime, on December 18, they will compete for the second title of the season: the Club World Cup.
