Real Madrid Crisis Deepens: Spanish Media Warn of Potential Walkover
The Spanish media outlet, Sportowe Fakty, has reported that Real Madrid’s injury crisis has worsened with the news that goalkeeper Andrij Łunin and midfielder Brahim Diaz will miss their upcoming match against Mallorca.
According to Sportowe Fakty, Łunin will not feature in the match due to an unspecified injury, while Diaz has suffered a muscle injury to his adductor. The report also states that the Spanish newspaper, "AS", has confirmed that Diaz’s injury will rule him out of the match.
The situation at Real Madrid has become increasingly dire, with Sportowe Fakty citing "Marca", which has warned that the club may be forced to field a walkover. This is due to the regulations of La Liga, which dictate that a team must have a minimum of seven first-team players available to take to the field.
Currently, Real Madrid has only ten healthy first-team players available, with Sportowe Fakty reporting that the squad will be supplemented by players from the reserve and youth teams. However, according to the regulations, if a team is unable to field a minimum of seven registered players, the match must be abandoned.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be without a number of key players, including Łunin, Diaz, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Antonio Ruediger, Lucas Vazquez, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, and Aurelien Tchouameni.
The match against Mallorca is scheduled to take place on May 14th at 21:30 local time. It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will be able to field a team to compete in the match.
In a worrying sign for the club, Sportowe Fakty reports that the team’s injury crisis shows no signs of abating, with a number of key players facing a spell on the sidelines.
The potential walkover has significant implications for Real Madrid, who are struggling to compete in La Liga this season. The team has been hit by a number of high-profile injuries, and the loss of further players to the injury list has left Ancelotti with a severely depleted squad.
As the situation continues to unfold, Sportowe Fakty will provide updates on the developing story.
Real Madrid’s injury crisis has sparked concerns about the team’s ability to compete in the remainder of the season. With a number of key players facing a spell on the sidelines, Ancelotti will be forced to rely on younger players to fill the gaps.
The club’s fans will be anxiously awaiting news on the team’s prospects for the upcoming match against Mallorca. A walkover would be a significant blow to the team’s season, and would likely have serious implications for their chances of competing in La Liga.
For now, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold. One thing is certain, however: Real Madrid’s injury crisis has become a major concern for the club, and Sportowe Fakty will continue to provide updates on the developing story.
