Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane currently copes without eight players and could travel to Bergamo with only two outfield reserves.
Los Blancos confirmed Dani Carvajal has suffered a muscle injury and Zidane said he ‘doesn’t understand the reason’ for the growing injury list.
With the full-back’s muscular problem, suffered against Valencia last weekend, the list of absentees rise to eight players.
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane currently copes without eight players and could travel to Bergamo with only two outfield reserves.
Los Blancos confirmed Dani Carvajal has suffered a muscle injury and Zidane said he ‘doesn’t understand the reason’ for the growing injury list.
With the full-back’s muscular problem, suffered against Valencia last weekend, the list of absentees rise to eight players.
Carvajal, Eder Militao, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Federico Valverde, Alvaro Odriozola, Eden Hazard and Rodrygo are all unavailable ahead of the match against Real Valladolid in La Liga.
Zidane has currently just over 11 players at his disposal and, as TMW highlights, only two outfield options on the bench.
A probable line-up would be with Thibaut Courtois in goals, behind a back four consisting of Lucas Vazquez, Raphael Varane, Nacho and Ferland Mendy.
In the middle, Casemiro, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are available, as Marco Asensio, Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior are expected to play in the attacking trident.
The alternatives are only two, with Isco and Mariano Diaz expected to start on the bench. Real will hope to avoid further issues at Valladolid, and to recover some players for the match against the Orobici in the Champions League next week.
