Real Madrid has been dealt a blow during the international break as several key players, including Brazilian Eder Militao and French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, have sustained injuries while representing their national teams. This adds to an already growing list of sidelined stars, with David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, and Jude Bellingham also currently out due to injuries.
Real Madrid, currently second in La Liga with two wins and two draws from their first four matches, is now facing a crisis in defense and midfield. According to reports from *Marca*, Militao was injured during a training session with the Brazilian national team and has returned to Madrid for treatment, further complicating Carlo Ancelotti’s squad options.
Additionally, there are growing concerns over Antonio Rudiger's fitness. The German defender is dealing with discomfort related to a knee issue, specifically osteoporosis, which requires ongoing monitoring despite him still being able to play.
With multiple first-team players out of action, Ancelotti now faces a significant challenge as he navigates a congested fixture list while trying to keep Real Madrid’s title hopes alive.
