Due to the fact that two of Real Madrid’s main center backs are now out with anterior cruciate ligament injuries, the club is in a difficult situation with respect to its defensive alternatives.
Antonio Rudiger and Nacho Fernandez are the only two senior central defenders that Carlo Ancelotti has available to him as a result of this situation.
The club captain is the one who will be banned for the forthcoming match against Mallorca. This is because he was issued a red card during the previous match, which was against Alaves.
Due to the circumstances, it was believed that Real Madrid would enter the market during the current transfer window in order to acquire a new defender. Several names have even been connected to the possibility of Real Madrid making this move.
The cards are not to be signed.
The most recent information from the Madrid Football Association (MARCA) indicates that Real Madrid has not been completely persuaded by the center-back possibilities that are presently available on the market.
As a consequence of this, it is quite improbable that they will be able to acquire a new defender before the conclusion of the transfer season in January.
Instead, Carlo Ancelotti will continue to rely on Aurelien Tchouameni, a midfielder, as a substitute center defense whenever it is necessary, according to the article.
This season, the Frenchman, who is 23 years old, has been used as a center back on a few times and has performed well in that role, despite the fact that he was hesitant to play in that position.
However, according to the article, Tchouameni is now more eager to participate in the role of center back when it is necessary, providing Ancelotti with an alternative option.
It is possible that Real Madrid may go through the whole transfer window without acquiring a new defender. This is due to the fact that they are not persuaded by the names that are now available on the market.
