Real Madrid is being notably affected by a significant wave of injuries. Recently, it has been confirmed that two additional names have been added to his list of injured players, which already had five members, who are key pieces in Carlo Ancelotti's starting eleven
If there is a team that has started September on the wrong foot, it's Real Madrid. This is not solely due to sporting reasons, as Carlo Ancelotti's team is coming off a victory against Real Betis (2-0) with a brace from Kylian Mbappé. However, the bad streak is more associated with a series of injuries that are affecting their players.
The first to recently fall was Dani Ceballos, who was revealed last Monday to have a grade III sprain with ligament damage in his right ankle and will be out for six to eight weeks. But that's not all, the Merengues now also have to deal with two more absences, as two players who were already with the French national team for this September FIFA international break are now unavailable. In these matches, 'Les Bleus' will face Italy at Parc des Princes on Friday 6th and Belgium at Groupama Stadium on Monday 9th, matches valid for Matchdays 1 and 2 of the 2024/25 Nations League.
The two newly confirmed absences from Real Madrid
In this context, it has been confirmed that Real Madrid's left-back and French national team player, Ferland Mendy, has been released from international duty due to an injury to his right tibia. Additionally, another player freed from his international commitments is midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, who is dealing with a left foot injury.
Ferland Mendy, injured in the right tibia, is replaced by Lucas Digne who will join the group tonight!

Unfortunately, for Chamartín, the list of injured players continues to grow. In addition to the three aforementioned absences, the known injuries of David Alaba (anterior cruciate ligament rupture in the left knee), Jude Bellingham (thin plantar muscle injury in the right leg), Jesús Vallejo, and Eduardo Camavinga (sprained medial collateral ligament in the left knee) are added. These significant absences mainly affect the midfield and defensive areas, leaving Real Madrid with fewer available assets.
