Real Madrid: Will another injury open the door for the young Brazilian away from the first team?

Real Madrid have to deal with mischief. Several injured players have been joined by another defensive player. This injury could open the door to the first team for the young Brazilian, who plays for the Spanish B-team. Who is it?

The White Ballet is not experiencing the rosiest period after the World Cup. It did make a winning comeback to the start of the season, but since then Real have not been doing well. The last few days were marred by a loss to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final.

Even before leaving for Saudi Arabia, the Spanish big club had to deal with injured players who were an indispensable part of the starting line-up. These were David Alaba and summer signing Aurélien Tchouameni.

Lucas Vázquez joined the injured during the semi-final match against Valencia and Dani Carvajal also joined the injured after the botched final match. The former will miss around six weeks and Carvajal is expected to miss at least the next two games.

Will the promising youngster get a chance?

With Real almost out of the entire right side, the only pure right-back left is Alváro Odriozola, who has played only one single game in the current season. Only 50 minutes, to be precise.

Another option to cover the right side could be defensive all-rounder Nacho, who can play pretty much anywhere in the defence.

The absence in the defensive ranks could be a chance for young Brazilian Vinícius Tobias, who is currently playing for Real Madrid’s B-team under the legendary Raúl.

Tobias is on loan at Real. His performances for Castilla have impressed the management and the club has decided to exercise the €10 million option. It can be assumed that Tobias will be part of the club for the cup game against Villarreal and the league game against Bilbao.

The question is whether Carlo Ancelotti will decide to put the youngster in the starting line-up or give the option to Odriozola or Nacho. Federico Valverde also alternated at right-back last season.

Despite the numerous absences, it seems that Ancelotti still has a lot of options from which he has to choose the best one. But when else should Vinicius Tobias get a chance to impress in the first team than with so many defensive players injured. Considering the miserable form of the entire club, bringing in a young and predatory footballer who is eager to prove himself could be a much-needed boost.
