Real Madrid has been hit hard this season by an injury crisis. Dani Carvajal’s latest injury takes their total to 40 for the season, which is shared across 20 players.
Those problems have gotten worse in recent weeks and even worse Zinedine Zidane acknowledged their problems.
“Getting so many injuries is not bad,” Zidane said. “We’m worried.”
One day after the coach’s remarks, Carvajal got injured for the fourth time this season within 25 minutes of appearing again.
Only in 2020/21 Andriy Lunin, Casemiro, Ferland Mendy and Vinicius avoided a setback with their fitness outside the player’s Zidane‘s group.
Real Madrid does not see the light at the end of the tunnel and only becomes increasingly worried about the problem.
Los Blancos faced Huesca with nine players out, Getafe with eight out and Valencia with seven absentees.
The state of emergency will continue for the match against Real Valladolid, with Carvajal connection Sergio Ramos, Eden Hazard, Rodrygo, Fede Valverde, Eder Militao, Alvaro Odriozola and Marcelo on the injury report.
Nobody sustained more injuries than Real Madrid this season. They had 25 more than Atletico Madrid15, 15 more than Barcelona‘s 25 and 22 more than Sevillesee 18.
