Real Madrid Suffer Key Defensive Injury In First-Half Against Espanyol

Center-back Antonio Rudiger was forced off with what appeared to be a knee injury. Young Spaniard Raul Asencio replaced the German.

Los Blancos players gathered around Rudiger with concern as he held his left leg. He was quickly replaced, which could be a long-term concern for Carlo Ancelotti.
David Alaba has just returned, but Ancelotti was already struggling in that area with Eder Militao out for the season.
The transfer window is still open until January 3, so if the tests come back tomorrow as a long-term concern, then Ancelotti may strike a last-minute deal to bring a player in at the position.

Real Madrid fans were left holding their breath as star defender Raphael Varane suffered a key defensive injury in the first half of their match against Espanyol.
Varane went down clutching his leg after a collision with an Espanyol player, and had to be helped off the pitch by medical staff. The French international’s absence was immediately felt as Espanyol capitalized on the defensive lapse to score a goal.
The injury comes at a crucial time for Real Madrid, who are currently fighting for the La Liga title and have important matches coming up in the Champions League. Varane’s presence in the backline is crucial for the team’s defensive stability, and his absence will be sorely felt in the coming matches.
Fans are now anxiously awaiting updates on Varane’s condition and hoping for a speedy recovery. In the meantime, Real Madrid will have to regroup and find a way to cope without one of their key defensive players.
