The injured Madrid players are David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois, and Brahim Diaz plus Carvajal today. It seems that Ancelotti will have to add several players to replace injured players in the winter. It may take a while, but Madrid must prepare it so that they can still compete in the League and Europe. He only has Lucas Vazquez in place of Carvajal. There is also news that Madrid wants Trent Alexxander-Arnold from Liverpool, he has a contract end in January next year.
Ancelloti just have to manage the team's injury-free players well so as to compete at the highest level with Barcelona now that it's only 3 points that separated the two clubs with three months to January transfer window it's unfortunate that those key players would miss action possibly for both short term and long term, now that Toni Kross has gone it seems Real Madrid midfield is not as formidable as it was during Kross days and aging Modric has limited impact in the team, hopefully if Trent Alexxander-Arnold is signed definitely he is going to add more depth to their midfield if he is drafted from his usual right back to the midfield.
As a Liverpool fans actually i don't want to see Alexander-Arnold moved from Liverpool especially he came from Liverpool Football Academy so he was playing with Liverpool since at junior team besides that Liverpool currently is very solid and Alexander-Arnold as part of Arne Slot plan but apparently Liverpool has no plan to give him contract extension which mean possibly Alexander-Arnold will be leave with free transfer status and since last summer actually Alexander-Arnold was linked to Real Madrid especially Jude Bellingham which Alexander-Arnold close friend has been invite him to joining with this team
About Real Madrid condition currently after Dani Carvajal confirmed got long term injured then Real Madrid only have 6 defensive players and this is not good because Real Madrid has tight schedules this season so they really required new defensive players and i know Alexander-Arnold contract will be expired on June 2025 but probably if Real Madrid in the urgent condition they can bought Alexander-Arnold this January and besides Alexander-Arnold Real Madrid also reported will attempts to gets Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich
