Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid team’s good start to the 2023–24 campaign has been derailed by the team’s ongoing battle with injuries this season.

Nine players have passed away from various ailments since the season began, which has affected the team’s performance.

The most recent victims include Brazilian Vinicius Jr., who is dealing with a recurrence of early-season weariness, and French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who suffered a knee injury when training with the French national team. Los Blancos’ injury list is growing as a result of these setbacks.

Real Madrid recently fired Dr. Niko Mihic, its director of medical staff, in reaction to the injury issue, according to sources from the Spanish publication Marca. This decision notwithstanding, the club’s injury situation is not getting any better.

Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao have season-ending Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries, according to Goal, which also shows a long list of ailments. There were several injuries this week: Jude Bellingham is recovering from a shoulder injury; Arda Guler is dealing with a muscle relapse; Aurelien Tchouameni is expected to be out for two months; Jude Arrizabalaga has been out for at least three weeks with a muscle injury; and Vinicius Junior hurt his thigh during Brazil’s FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Colombia.
