Real Madrid’s recent injury report has left fans concerned as key players Rodrygo Goes, Lucas Vazquez, and Eder Militao face extended time away from the pitch.

In their recent 4-0 victory over Osasuna, Los Blancos may have secured three points, but the cost has been steep, with injuries impacting their lineup for upcoming matches.

Rodrygo and Vazquez are now expected to be out for weeks, while Militao’s season has likely ended following an ACL injury.

Key players sidelined: What this means for Madrid’s squad

Rodrygo’s injury was confirmed following medical tests that revealed a strain in the rectus femoris muscle of his left leg. He’s expected to miss the next five to six weeks, which means his return may not be until mid December.

Vazquez, who also sustained a muscular injury, could be sidelined for up to a month, making him unavailable for the next several matches.

Eder Militao, who had been a reliable presence in the backline, suffered a season-ending ACL rupture earlier this year.

This leaves Real Madrid with limited options in defense, with Dani Carvajal also out and Vazquez’s absence only adding to the shortage.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti may look to Fede Valverde as a temporary solution at right-back in the coming games after the international break.

Challenges ahead as key matches loom

With the team’s roster stretched thin, Ancelotti faces tough choices for Real Madrid’s next three matches, where they will go up against Leganes, Liverpool, and Getafe.

Rodrygo and Vazquez are likely to miss these fixtures but could make their return in December, just in time for a critical showdown with Athletic Bilbao.

The injuries could also impact Madrid’s offensive performance, as Rodrygo’s absence deprives the attacking unit of his speed and creativity.

With Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham stepping up, fans will be hoping that the team can maintain its momentum despite the setbacks.
