Bad news for Alonso’s Madrid amid growing pressure following home loss against Pep Guardiola’s side. According to a report by ESPN, the 15-time UEFA Champions League winners will be without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, and Eder Militao following injuries.
Additionally, Alvaro Carreras and Fran Garcia have been suspended. This means that the Spanish manager will not be able to have any full-backs on the field.
As per the aforementioned source, the Spanish giants might also rule out Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Antonio Rudiger, and Dean Huijsen against Alves.
Real Madrid has managed to win only one game in their last five games. Mbappe, who was included in the squad against the Sky Blues but did not play in the match, is also in doubt to play the next game.
The Frenchman is recovering finger injury and had an off day against Celta Vigo. The World Cup winner has scored 25 goals in 21 games this season. It remains to be seen how the under-fire manager tackles the situation.
