Real Madrid faces matchday 17 of LaLiga in great form after two memorable performances in less than a week. The whites are coming off a crucial victory in the Champions League against Atalanta and a great game last weekend in the League against Girona.
Mbappé and Bellingham have discomfort, one in the ischium and the other in the thigh. The Frenchman will undergo tests to determine exactly the extent of the discomfort and whether there is an injury or not, while Alaba is already training with the group after a year. Carvajal and Militao continue to recover from their cruciate ligament injuries.
Regarding sanctions, no player will miss the next match due to suspension, however the only player warned is Vinicius Júnior with four yellow cards.
The French left back, who is not completely convincing Ancelotti, is being hampered by injuries that do not help him find his best level. He was injured last weekend against Girona and it will be seen if Fran García continues to take away his starting position.
Camavinga remains injured since he left the field of play against Liverpool. The French midfielder was being the protagonist thanks to his dynamism and thefts he made on the field of play. With very bad luck, at the beginning of the second half he injured the hamstring of his left leg.
The Austrian, who was also seriously injured last season, was in charge of getting the ball out of defense and providing experience in critical moments. His loss has forced Ancelotti to rely on the other centre-backs but with less ability to build play from behind. His return is close and he is already training with the group.
The Brazilian center back was injured against Osasuna, suffering a torn cruciate ligament that will keep him out for the entire season. Militão was the undisputed leader of the defense due to his speed, strength in duels and ability to anticipate. Without him, Real Madrid has lost stability in the center of the defense.
Carvajal was being one of the best players of the season until he suffered this serious injury. His ability to generate danger on the right wing and provide defensive security was crucial. Without him, the band is weakened, especially since his replacement Lucas Vázquez is also out.
Real Madrid does not have any player sanctioned for this match against Rayo Vallecano at the Vallecas Stadium
