Despair at Real Madrid: Mbappé and Bellingham Sidelined
Real Madrid is facing a critical moment regarding injuries, with new concerns emerging following their loss at Anfield.
In addition to Eduardo Camavinga's muscle injury, the team returns from England with three more players experiencing physical issues: Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Brahim Díaz.
According to the latest reports, all three will undergo medical tests to determine their availability for Sunday’s match against Getafe, though their participation remains uncertain.
The Growing Injury Crisis at Real Madrid
The physical state of the squad is particularly concerning in the attack, where key players like Rodrygo and Vinícius Jr. are already sidelined. The potential absence of Mbappé, a cornerstone of the attacking trident, and Brahim Díaz, one of Carlo Ancelotti’s most utilized substitutes, further jeopardizes the team’s offensive options.
Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham, who has been in stellar form recently, may not be fully fit to continue his positive run of performances.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti must manage his resources carefully, not only for the clash against Getafe but also for a demanding December schedule. The calendar includes a tough Champions League match against Atalanta and the Intercontinental Cup Final.
Adding to the complications is the possible absence of Aurélien Tchouaméni, leaving Ancelotti with limited options to field a competitive starting eleven.
In light of these challenges, it is expected that several players from Castilla will be called upon to fill the gaps in the upcoming fixtures. For Real Madrid, navigating this injury crisis successfully will be crucial to maintaining their competitiveness in all tournaments.
