Real Madrid seem to have defied bad luck this season, at least judging by the wave of injuries they have suffered.
Thibaut Courtois headed the injury list with a cruciate ligament tear during a training session, while Eder Militao was injured during a game in Bilbao. Both players will not be able to play until 2024.
Vinicius Junior was dealt a blow with a hamstring injury that ruled him out for a month, but his return has brought a new wave of positive performances for Madrid. However, Aurelien Tchouameni is out, after injuring his ankle.
Not only that, Jude Bellingham, the team’s leading scorer, was forced to stay out with an injury and missed several games. We also add the latest news from France that Eduardo Camavinga will be out for the rest of the year after suffering an injury.
Meanwhile, the likes of Kepa, Arda Guler and Dani Ceballos are trying to get back to their best form after dealing with muscle injuries.
All around negative news for Carlo Ancelotti’s team, but the coach is not yet in an impossible position. He still has a strong lineup at his disposal even without the injured stars.
An encouraging sign is that some of the aforementioned injured names, such as Kepa, Bellingham and Ceballos, are expected to return to full form after the international break. But whether they will be ready to play from the first minute remains to be seen.
