The drama of Real Madrid with the injuries in defense itches and spreads. The 'merengues' must visit Villarreal on Thursday for the round of 16, a game they will reach without a born right-back due to the losses of Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Dani Carvajal Will lose the crash of the Thursday in front of the Villarreal by the eighth of final of the Glass of Rey, a drop in defence that adds to the ones of David Praises and Lucas Vázquez that leaves to Carlo Ancelotti very engaged regarding right sides to visit The Ceramics. The Real Madrid already fell this year in the remozado yellow stadium (2-1 by League on 7 January) and a defeat the Thursday would mean the second stray title of the season after the fall the Sunday in the Supercopa Spanish.

The Sunday, Carvajal and Antonio Rüdiger were the most signalled in the Classical in which the FC Barcelona happened up to a Madrid without ideas and very soft backwards. The side suffers one overloads in the aductor right that prevented him train in the session of the Tuesday, by what, to these heights, his presence the Thursday is practically descartada, while the official medical part, for now, reduces to a "earring of evolution". Neither it will be able to travel Aurélien Tchouaméni, drop beside Praises in the expedition to Arabia.

Like this the things to Ancelotti remain him only two possible options regarding born right sides. One is Álvaro Odriozola, the one who has not explained practically in all the season for the míster Italian (only has played 51 minutes in front of the Cacereño). The another option is Vinícius Tobías, player of the Castilla. The Brazilian of 18 years could debut with the first team after contesting 21 parties with the filial (has delivered 4 assistances).

Nacho and Militao, other alternatives

In the first team, the options reduce to Nacho and Éder Militao. The '6' played the 120 minutes in the semis of the Supercopa in front of the Valency like left side and always is had to play where Ancelotti put him. "Be lateral? To me what does me happy is to play, without mattering the position. Only I want to play", it said the defender after the triumph in penaltis in front of the group 'Ché'. By his part, the Brazilian already showed in the World-wide with his selection that can adapt to play by the band, but even does not offer too many guarantees.

As last option, Ancelotti even could appeal by Rüdiger to cover the right band, although it has seen him better by the left-handed side when it has touched him play recostado like side. Fede Valverde also tested in his moment like carrilero, but the wear of the Uruguayan does not give him in this moment to improvise of this way. In the defeat by League in front of the Villarreal, Militao was the one who occupied the right side, without too much fortune.
