Real Madrid trained one last time before taking on Manchester City on matchday six of the Champions League group stage fixture. The injury-plagued side has won just two matches in the last six games in all competitions.
With Xabi Alonso’s job on the line, the match against the Sky Blues is a must-win encounter. Amid all the sacking speculations surrounding Alonso, the Whites’ manager is hit with another injury blow just ahead of the clash against Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Real Madrid loses French star against Manchester City UCL clash
Real Madrid will be without Eder Camavinga as the Frenchman is not fully fit to play against Manchester City on Wednesday.
The left-back trained indoors alongside Kylian Mbappe, who is also in doubt against Erling Haaland’s City. It would be a heavy blow if teh forward is unable to play in the important UCL clash. Reports are suggesting that it might be Alonso’s last match as a manager of the Los Blancos if City beats the Spanish giants.
Mbappe has scored 25 goals in 21 matches across all competitions, and with the France international in doubt, it is a huge concern for Alonso and Real Madrid’s attack. The 15-time UCL champions were hit with another injury update when they found out that Eder Militao would be out for two or three months, while they already lack Trent Arnold Alexander in the backline.
