Real Madrid continues to face setbacks in defense. David Alaba has suffered an injury to the adductor in his left leg, adding to the list of absences in the white backline, where Antonio Rüdiger was already sidelined due to an injury last weekend. The situation is becoming critical for Carlo Ancelotti, who now only has youth player Asencio as the lone natural center-back to face upcoming challenges.

The Austrian was expected to start this Wednesday in the Copa del Rey match against Leganés, partnering in defense with the young reserve team defender. His participation was crucial to assess his physical condition after being away from the field for over a year. However, this new injury will now keep him out of the team's plans at a crucial point in the season.

A makeshift defense due to poor planning

The Italian coach now faces a major dilemma to shore up his defense. With Militao still recovering and no other significant alternatives in the squad, Ancelotti might turn to Aurélien Tchouaméni or give playing time to Jacobo Ramón, a Castilla center-back. Another, albeit less likely, option would be to move Fede Valverde back, although the Uruguayan seems more needed in midfield.

The schedule doesn't help either. After the cup match, Real Madrid will face Atlético on Saturday in a derby that could define the LaLiga battle, and next week, they will visit Manchester City in the Champions League. Without Alaba and Rüdiger, the Madrid defense becomes a real headache for Ancelotti, who will have to improvise to maintain his team's solidity in the crucial moments of the season.
