Real Madrid has been able to maintain its winning streak despite the fact that the odds are stacked against them. The most recent result they achieved was a victory against Granada by a score of 2-0, which allowed them to keep their position as the top team in the La Liga standings. As of right now, Girona and Carlo Ancelotti’s team are tied for second place in terms of points. Meanwhile, FC Barcelona has fallen to fourth place, while Atletico Madrid is now in third place.
Despite the promising findings, there is no indication that Real Madrid’s fitness issues will be resolved any time soon. In addition, they were presented with a new source of concern in the game against Granada.
During the halftime break, Dani Carvajal was replaced by Lucas Vazquez, who came in as a replacement. Despite the fact that the right-back may have suffered a calf injury, the severity of the ailment has not yet been confirmed.
Initial impressions suggest that it is not a significant issue, which is a welcome development. In the near future, he will be assessed. The following is what Ancelotti had to say regarding Carvajal’s condition, as published by The Athletic:
A. “Carvajal” I get a feeling that he is overloaded. Tomorrow, we shall discuss his performance. “It does not appear to be a serious matter.”
The Real Madrid manager provides an update on Carvajal’s injuries.
Thankfully, Real Madrid will not be returning to play for another week. They will be back in action tomorrow. At the Estadio Benito Villamarin, they will play their next match, which is a match versus Real Betis.
When Real Betis are playing away from home, it is always a difficult challenge for any side in La Liga to play against them since they are trying to go back into the top six. With any luck, Ancelotti’s team will emerge victorious from the examination.
Real Madrid is deserving of a great deal of praise for their squad. Over the course of the years, they have shown more passion and drive than a great number of better teams.
Take a look at the predicament that they find themselves in just now. Already before the season began, the team’s lack of depth was a concern that needed to be addressed. A number of players, including Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, and others, are now nursing injuries that prevent them from playing.
There are five players that start for Real Madrid on a regular basis. When it comes to providing outcomes, less capable teams would have already let their shoulders down and quit doing so a long time ago. The way that Ancelotti’s squad operates is not like that.
