There were seven Real Madrid players injured before the international break, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Dani Ceballos, Eder Militao, Jude Bellingham, Thibaut Courtois and Kepa Arrizabalaga. Now Vinicius and Camavinga add to the long list of injured Real Madrid players, a total of nine Madrid players are in the treatment room. Vinicius was injured while playing for the Brazilian national team and Camavinga was injured in a training session when he joined the French national team.
So far, these two players have always been Ancelotti main choice. Losing both of them has reduced Real Madrid strength a little, especially since many of the core players had previously entered the treatment room.
Girona has always shown consistent performances in La Liga, they have only lost once when they met Real Madrid. Real Madrid reduced strength has made Girona increasingly obsessed with maintaining first position, the match versus Bilbao is a challenge that must be overcome with an additional three points for Girona if they want to increase their points advantage over their competitors.
Injury, a thing of worry especially for a top team who’s lagging behind when it comes to competing for the league. Real Madrid has 9 key players out on injury as we head into crazy December fixtures, it's a very tough one for them and I wonder how they'll survive the coming month before the winter window.
This is going to be so worrisome because it’s going to be literally using another set of 11 to play and make sure they coerce well with each other before match day, injuries of Vini and Camavinga will be one to shake this Madrid side, Girona are a pretty consistent side but they’ll meet with Athletic Bilbao over the weekend, let’s see how many points they’ll be able to grab from this fixture and remain top of the league.
