Real Madrid arrives at Anfield with 6 injuries

Real Madrid Faces Injury Crisis Ahead of Key Champions League Clash

Real Madrid is gearing up for a crucial showdown against Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League, knowing that only a victory will keep their hopes alive in the group stage. However, Carlo Ancelotti’s side is facing a major injury crisis with six key players sidelined.

Defensive Woes for Los Blancos

Defensively, Real Madrid is dealing with significant setbacks as Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal are ruled out for the rest of the season due to cruciate ligament injuries. David Alaba is still recovering from a similar issue from the previous season. In addition, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes are both sidelined with muscle injuries. While Lucas Vazquez’s return provides a glimmer of hope at right-back, the absence of options like Aurelien Tchouameni poses a challenge in the center-back position.

Inexperienced Lineup Expected

With key players missing, Real Madrid is likely to field a relatively inexperienced lineup at Anfield. Youngster Raul Asencio is set to make just his third senior appearance alongside Antonio Rudiger in central defense. The attacking trio could feature Kylian Mbappe on the left, supported by Jude Bellingham and either Brahim Diaz, Endrick Felipe, or Arda Guler in a makeshift frontline.

As Real Madrid navigates through this injury crisis, Ancelotti will need to devise a tactical plan to overcome the formidable challenge posed by Liverpool, who currently sit at the top of the group with a perfect record. The clash at Anfield promises to be a test of character for the depleted Real Madrid squad as they strive to secure a vital victory in the Champions League.
