October 30th According to "Marca", since the beginning of the 23-24 season, Real Madrid's defense has suffered a total of 47 injuries, with a total of 2,406 days of absence.

Currently, the three defenders Rudiger, Carvajal and Alaba are on the injury list. Only 13 games into the season, seven of the 10 defenders have been injured, with only Asensio, Fran Garcia and Carreras surviving. Head coach Xabi Alonso has even had to use Asensio and Valverde as guest right backs.

The wave of injuries is not new to this season. The article reviewed that in the 23-24 season, Ancelotti was forced to use as many as 24 different defense combinations. The situation was even worse last season. Ancelotti's main defense only played 6 times together and used 32 different defense combinations throughout the season. The back line suffered a total of 26 injuries, twice as many as the previous season.

The article disclosed concerns within Real Madrid. Not only the number of injuries, but the physical wear and tear accumulated by some players from repeated injuries also raises doubts. Alaba has missed 549 days in the past three seasons, Militao has missed 493 days, Carvajal has missed 411 days, Mendy has missed 347 days and Rudiger has missed 187 days. They are all the focus of attention.

In response, Real Madrid carried out a defense change last summer, signing Carreras, Huizen, and Arnold, and promoting Asensio. This change has not yet ended, and the second chapter will usher in next summer.
