The day after their defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League, Real Madrid is going through a period of uncertainty. Between injuries and a packed schedule, Carlo Ancelotti must navigate mixed news regarding his squad as the match against Getafe approaches.
The clash at Anfield not only resulted in a loss for the Madrid side but also took a physical toll on the players.
Eduardo Camavinga sidelined for two weeks
The French midfielder, who was beginning to establish himself in Real Madrid’s midfield, had to leave the pitch after suffering a strain in the 57th minute. Diagnosed with a hamstring injury, he will be out for two to three weeks, missing several key matches. According to Marca, his return is expected just before the clash against Rayo Vallecano, scheduled for December 14.
Concerns for Jude Bellingham and Brahim Diaz
The two starters against Liverpool finished the match with minor injuries. While their absence for the game against Getafe has not been confirmed, their physical condition might not be at its best.
A Glimmer of Hope: Vinicius Junior Set to Return
Amid the challenging circumstances, some good news brings a bit of relief to Carlo Ancelotti. Vinicius Junior has resumed ball training following the injury he sustained against Leganés. While he is not expected to play before the end of next week, the Brazilian winger could be ready for the Champions League clash against Atalanta Bergamo. With Kylian Mbappé struggling, his return would be a significant boost for the team.
Reinforcements Arriving, but Challenges Ahead
Fortunately, the returns of Aurélien Tchouaméni and Rodrygo Goes should partially offset the absences and provide the coaching staff with some much-needed stability.
However, the end of the year promises to be demanding with a packed schedule: after facing Getafe this Sunday, Real Madrid will take on Athletic Bilbao midweek and Girona the following weekend. Each match will be crucial to restore momentum for a team still reeling from a lackluster start to the season.
With the pressure of the Champions League and high expectations in La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti will need to balance injury management with performance.
