As Real Madrid sought to break free from their recent injury woes, disaster struck once again on Saturday against Osasuna. Carlo Ancelotti’s team was rocked by two significant injury blows during the match, with both Eder Militao and Rodrygo Goes forced to leave the field early.
Rodrygo, who had only just returned from injury and regained his place in the starting lineup, was in agony after feeling a sharp pain in his thigh in the 20th minute. In tears, the Brazilian forward had no choice but to limp off, leaving Madrid fans horrified as the injury crisis deepened.
Shortly after Rodrygo’s departure, Militao was also struck down. The Brazilian defender collided violently with Osasuna’s Enzo Boyomo, injuring his knee. Militao screamed in pain and had to be stretchered off the field, visibly in distress. Both players’ injuries added to an already growing list of absentees in Madrid’s squad, which includes Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, and Aurélien Tchouaméni.
With Militao and Rodrygo now sidelined, Real Madrid’s defensive and attacking lines have been severely depleted. This mounting injury crisis leaves Ancelotti facing a difficult challenge as he looks to manage his squad in the coming weeks. The situation is critical, and with key players missing, the club’s ambitions for the season are under serious threat.
The next few matches will be pivotal, and Ancelotti will need to find quick solutions to cope with these significant absences. The road ahead is looking tough for the Merengues as they attempt to stay in the title race despite their growing injury list.
