Real Madrid will take on Manchester City in the Champions League at Santiago Bernabeu. After the loss to Celta Vigo, this game becomes very crucial for Xabi Alonso.
The manager is under fire after his side’s recent poor form. Also, many outlets are suggesting that the relationship between players and the manager is unstable.
At such a crucial time, Madrid will welcome the Premier League giants at home. And before the game, they have suffered another injury blow.
During the game against Celta, they already suffered a blow, as Eder Militao limped off the ground. Further medical examination confirmed that the Brazilian will be out for months.
So, there is no doubt that he will miss this crucial fixture against Manchester City. Another key player in Alonso’s system could miss this clash.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed on X that Kylian Mbappe didn’t train with the Real Madrid squad. So, he is also a doubt for this game.
Missing Mbappe will be a huge blow for the Los Blancos. They are heavily reliant on the French superstar to find the back of the net.
The Italian journalist also confirmed that Eduardo Camavinga is yet to regain fitness for this clash. So, the French midfielder will be missing this game against the Citizens.
Xabi Alonso will miss five more players for this game. Dean Huijsen, David Alaba, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ferland Mendy, and Dani Carvajal will miss this game.
So, Real Madrid will be defensively weak in this game. They could turn to Raul Asencio to provide stability at the back.
There is no doubt, Real Madrid will have a tough time containing Manchester City in this Champions League game.
