Real Madrid have been taking blow after blow since the start of the new season. But not in terms of results, only in terms of injuries. This time, the key player Vinícius Junior has dropped out, yet the management is not going to reinforce the attack.

The first bad news for Real Madrid came before the first game. Thibaut Courtois tore a cruciate ligament in his knee and will probably miss the whole season.

At the time, there was talk that he was the worst player who could have gone out, as the Belgian is absolutely the key player who held the entire defensive line.

He was joined in the first game by key stopper Eder Militao, who also tore his cruciate ligament and will miss almost the entire season.

And to make matters worse, Vinícius Junior injured a muscle in the first half against Celta Vigo and will miss at least 6 weeks. For example, he will miss the first two matches of the Champions League or the derby with Atlético Madrid.

And in the current situation, this is a huge problem for Real because Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t have many options in attack. Because of the overcrowded midfield, he switched to a formation with four central midfielders and two strikers, with Vinicius and Rodrygo.

The injured Vinícius was replaced by Joselu, who originally came only as a substitute striker, but now he will probably have to play in the starting line-up. And Real don’t have any other strikers, only Brahim Díaz can be counted on, but he is more of a winger or sub.

That’s why, according to the daily MARCA, calls have intensified towards the Santiago Bernabéu from teams that have tried to offer Real their strikers. But Florentino Pérez is standing his ground, the transfer window is over for Real and no more signings will come.

It’s a bit strange that he was only interested in Mbappé and if it doesn’t work out again, Pérez will accept it and won’t bring in any more strikers. Meanwhile, the current composition of Real’s attack is trifling and it is unfathomable that Pérez will have no problem going into the next two months with the attacking trio of Rodrygo – Joselu – Brahim.
