Real Madrid’s season went from bad to worse despite winning 4-0 against Osasuna in their La Liga clash over the weekend.  The victory was bittersweet given they picked up three injuries to key players  inside the first 45 minutes to worsen their ongoing injury crisis.  

With Eder Militao picking up another ACL injury, Real Madrid are left with only one first Team centre back option in the form of Antonio Rudiger. This has sent shockwaves at the Real Madrid facilities but manager Carlo Ancelotti has calmed the storm and played down concerns over injury crisis. 

Carlo Ancelotti plays down panic over injuries 

Real Madrid in a horror 30 minutes saw three players in Rodrygo, Eder Militao, and Lucas Vazquez all getting injured against Osasuna and forced to leave the field.  

With Dani Carvajal already out for the rest of the season due to ACL injury, alongside David Alaba, the injuries to Eder Militao and Lucas Vazquez mean that Los Blancos will have to look at their academy team Castilla to find solutions. 

With chatter gathering over needing new signings of the likes of Trent Alexander Arnold and Alphonso Davies, Ancelotti played down the rumours and said that the team will need to manage from whatever they have. 

“I am not thinking about signings, until Christmas we have to manage with what we have,” said Carlo Ancelotti.
