Three operations in two days. This data summarizes the sperm situation that a Real Madrid is going through which has completed the most infamous season in its history with more than 60 injuries in a 2024-25 season that will be remembered for the misfortune that has especially pursued the white defense. It is not the first campaign that happens to him, because in the previous one Courtois fell, militao and praise the cross ligaments. But in this end of the course Carlo Ancelotti is being encountered with real problems to build a reliable defense that will form in these league matches that remain delaying Aurelien Tchouameni to play central next to the Canterano Raúl Asencio, while on the right improvises with a lucas who has poured the lane all year, and in the left he will bet on the only left -handed, Fran.
White pays the demand for the 57 games they have played, they will reach 62 without counting the Club World Cupwhich has maintained nursing fills from day one to the last. However, in recent days they have been especially hard for Ancelotti, which in the last two weeks has lost Camavinga, Rudiger, Alaba and Mendy for the remainder of the season. There is no team in the five most powerful leagues in Europe with a defense as punished as Real Madridwhere Italian will align a defensive line formed by four players who were not called at the beginning of the season to be headlines in those positions.

Six injured
Dani Carvajal: The right side suffered a very serious knee injury during a match against Villarreal on October 5, 2024. He was diagnosed with an anterior cross ligament break, a breakage of the external collateral ligament and a breakage of the popliteal tendon in his right knee. After being operated, a recovery has started that the Madrid expects to allow him to play in the Club World Cup, but from the medical services of the club they take it calmly due to the seriousness of the injury he suffered.
Oeder Militao: On day 13 the central suffered a complete breakage of the anterior cross ligament with affectation of both meniscus in the right leg. The Brazilian, who had produced the same injury one year earlier in the other knee, wants to force to be in the Club World Cup, but the club does not want to force more and prefers that he recovers completely after two very serious injuries.
ANTONIO RUDIGER: The German central was intervened on Tuesday with a partial rupture in the external meniscus of its left knee that will keep it between six and eight weeks. The club will try to recover it for the Club World Cup, also knowing that you will not be able to play any league match when you are sanctioned with six sanction games for trying to assault by Burgos Bengoechea in the final of the Copa del Rey.
David praises: The Austrian, who has played central and left side, has been operated on Wednesday of a break in the internal meniscus of the left knee, so he will not play this season again. The defense spent a year and a half outside the playing fields after breaking the cross ligaments and returning in February to the playing land. Since then he has not had continuity for the inconvenience and his lack of rhythm that has prevented him from playing normally.
FERLAND MENDY: The French left -handed side was operated on Wednesday after breaking the tendon of the anterior rectum of the quadriceps. It is estimated that the period of low of the injury of the side will be extended during the next two months, so neither Ancelotti nor Solari, which will take charge as an interim technician in the Club World Cup, can count on their services.
Eduardo Camavinga: The Frenchman, who has also acted as a left lane in the Madrid rear, suffered in Getafe a complete breakage of the tendon of the left adductor. The estimated decline period is three months, so it has definitely said goodbye to an Aciaga season in which it started injured without being able to play and has ended in the same way after this inappropriate injury that also left him out of the Copa del Rey, for which Carlo Ancelotti had planned to align him as a left -handed side to stop Lamine Yamal.

Four survivors
Lucas Vázquez: Carvajal's injury has given Galician unexpected prominence, which has played 3061 minutes in 47 games, the highest number of meetings since Real Madrid arrived ten years ago. The Curtis has had a bad time in the right lane where their defensive deficiencies have been noticed to pure extremes, in addition to the 33 years that make it lose speed.
Raúl Asencio: The Canarian Central has earned this injured year with its speed at the crossing and its character. In recent games, the level has been seen to lower something, but the canterano has been the defensive reference of the team in the 2753 that he has completed during the 37 games in which Carlo Ancelotti has aligned him. His good season has led him to be summoned by Luis de la Fuente for the National Team, although he did not debut.
Jesús Vallejo: The Central Maño has only played this course 10 minutes, at the League meeting against Alavés on September 24 at Bernabéu. Vallejo jumped into the field at popular request when Madrid commanded comfortably on the scoreboard (3-0). The shouts of “Brush Vallejo, take Vallejo!”, Speaked Ancelotti, who gave him entrance. And his entrance almost costs the triumph to the whites, who ended up asking for the time with two goals from Alavés in the final stretch. It does not count for Carletto.
Fran García: The left -hander arrived from Rayo has played ownership to Mendy, although Ancelotti has made it clear that he does not trust him in defense. The commitment to the ownership of the French in the Cup final, in which he only played eight minutes before injuring himself, left Garcia in bad position. Even so, Fran accumulates 2,433 minutes in 42 games in which he has offered good offensive performance and left many defensive doubts.
