The Fifa virus has hit Real Madrid again, this time Eder Militao is back in treatment after suffering a muscle injury and had to leave the Brazil camp early, he is expected to miss two matches with Brazil and is expected to be unable to play when Real Madrid plays Real Sociedad. Eder Militao's injury adds to the list of Real Madrid players in the treatment room, but it is not yet clear how long he will be out as he will undergo further tests in Madrid to clarify how long he will be out.
Ancelotti is having more difficulty in putting together his squad due to injuries to key players, and Real Madrid have also just dropped four points in their last four games due to their inability to maintain the stability of their performance.
The list of Real Madrid players currently injured has been confirmed.
Eder Militao
Eduardo Camavinga
Aurélien Tchouaméni
Ferland Mendy
Jude Bellingham
Dani Ceballos
David Alaba
Joan Martinez
The list is quite much knowing they’re all good players that can contribute, probably Real Madrid performance might be because of the unstable structure and lack of players. Although Real Madrid still have good players to keep up with that’s one important thing, I have not had any information concerning the rest players except Jude Bellingham. In most cases injury can last for long but with the review concerning Jude I’m sure he’ll get back soon.
So many midfielders have been injured and I think that could be a problem for Real Madrid going into the next matches. They no longer have Toni Kroos and if we look at their performances with Bellingham and Camavinga out, their midfield is less creative and their rhythm looks monotonous. Now they also have to lose Tchouameni for the time being, so that leaves only Modric and Dani Ceballos as options.
Another option would be to push Lucas Vazquez into the middle but that would leave the right-back vulnerable because practically Dani Carvajal has to play the full minutes and hope he doesn't get fatigued or even get injured.
