Real Madrid suffered a defeat against Espanyol, losing without scoring, making it a particularly tough match. Beyond the result, Antonio Rudiger’s injury was the team’s main concern. Rudiger couldn’t finish the first half due to hamstring pain, and he chose to stop playing to prevent worsening the injury.

 

As per the club’s report, the player is dealing with a muscle issue in the biceps femoris of his right leg and is expected to be sidelined for about 20 days.

 

Even with this significant setback in defense, there is some positive news regarding David Alaba. Coach Carlo Ancelotti is happy with the Austrian’s recovery since returning from injury. Alaba has been gradually getting match minutes starting from the Las Palmas game, and it looks like he will play a crucial role in the defensive line for upcoming matches.

 

According to reports from Spanish outlet “Defensa Central,” this improvement suggests that the defensive pairing in the near future could include Chuamini and Raul Asensio, with Alaba potentially returning as a central figure in the defense soon.

 

The defensive line has been a major issue for Real Madrid since the season’s start due to the ongoing injuries to its players in that area. This defensive struggle might greatly affect the team’s outcomes, especially in key matches.

 

Meanwhile, Ancelotti believes that David Alaba should be more heavily relied upon in the upcoming period, particularly if his physical recovery continues well. Alaba could earn a starting spot in the cup match against Leganes.

 

With the winter transfer window approaching, it doesn’t appear that Real Madrid will make any last-minute moves. While there has been speculation about signing a new defender due to Rudiger’s injuries, the club does not plan to make any adjustments right now.

 

Despite the current defensive issues, there is hope that Alaba will gradually help stabilize the team’s defense. With many important matches ahead, it’s crucial for Real Madrid to find the defensive balance necessary to maintain their chances of winning trophies.
