This season, Real Madrid’s defense has been hit harder by injuries. Last month, David Alaba tore his ACL against Villarreal, which will keep him out for the rest of the season and maybe even the 2024 Euros.

Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao are already out for the rest of the season. Daniel Carvajal and Ferland Mendy have also been hurt a few times this season.

Real Madrid has confirmed that Lucas Vazquez has hurt the semi-tendinous muscle in his right thigh, making him the newest player on this list. His comeback will depend on how his rehab goes.

El Chiringuito TV, on the other hand, says that he will be out for at least three weeks. He will not go to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the team for the Spanish Super Cup because of this.

In the semi-finals, Real Madrid will play Atletico Madrid. In the finals, if they make it, they will play either Barcelona or Osasuna.

But first, they have to go to Aranda de Duero tomorrow to play Arandina CF in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.

Carlo Ancelotti has decided not to call up Aurelien Tchouameni so that he can rest him for future games. Toni Kroos is also not on the team list for this game because of pain in his ankle.

Vazquez has been replaced by Vinicius Tobias, who is likely to start the game since Daniel Carvajal needs to rest right away after getting hurt.
