Real Madrid’s defensive problems continue to mount as Nacho Fernández, the team’s captain, is now a doubt for the upcoming match against Girona in LaLiga. With all four of Real Madrid’s center-backs in the first team currently unavailable, manager Carlo Ancelotti is facing a challenging situation.
Nacho’s workload has increased significantly due to injuries to other defenders, leading to muscle overload. This has caused him to miss training and receive physiotherapy treatment in an effort to recover. His participation in the upcoming match will depend on his recovery and could further complicate Ancelotti’s defensive lineup.
In the recent Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid, Ancelotti had to improvise by using Dani Carvajal as a center back due to additional absences. The absence of key players has left the Italian coach with limited options in defense.
As Real Madrid prepares for the match against Girona, Ancelotti will closely monitor Nacho’s and Rüdiger’s progress in the hope of bolstering the team’s defensive options. The absence of healthy center-backs poses a major challenge for the team as they strive to maintain their position at the top of LaLiga.
