The bad luck due to the increasing number of player injuries has made it difficult for Ancelotti to formulate a strategy with the players he has. If this condition continues, it will be difficult for Real Madrid to maintain its best performance. The disparity in quality between key players and reserve players can affect the balance of the team, Mbappe presence has also not had a positive impact on Real Madrid front line, he has only been able to score two goals since defending Real Madrid. Ancelotti must be able to keep his team's performance on the best track even though he currently cannot play several key players. If he can manage the team well in difficult times like this, it will be very difficult to match the strength of Real Madrid when the key players can play again.
For me the problem is actually in the defense line, because some of their injured midfielders are reported to only be a few weeks away from returning to the main team squad. as for the others, they are predicted to recover and return to training in the coming months. but if the defenders are out for a long time, it will be very detrimental. with a tight schedule, the players will definitely be drained of energy. in the end, they are prone to injury. currently Ancelotti is certainly formulating his plan so that his team continues to perform at its best, especially since the matches they will play in the next few weeks are not against the top teams. at least, this situation provides money for the players to recover from their injuries quickly. IMO, for now I suspect Don Carlo is focusing on his front line. the point is, Mbappe has not shown consistent stable performance. only scoring two goals, not a benchmark to judge that he is in his best form. in La Liga Madrid will visit Real Sociedad's headquarters. while in the Champions League, they will host Stuttgart. in theory, Madrid are much more favored.
