Not Mbappe or Vinicius – Injuries have been Real Madrid’s biggest problem this season

Although we still have five matches remaining, the season is done and dusted for Real Madrid, who will look to avoid any embarrassment as we approach the final phase of the campaign.

Throughout the season, Real Madrid have had to encounter multiple problems, including dressing room problems with coaches, lack of commitment and disciplinary issues, among others.

However, the single biggest problem for Real Madrid this season has been injuries.

Real Madrid’s injury woes this season

As reported by Defensa Central, Real Madrid have suffered 51 injuries this season, just one more than the 50 recorded during Carlo Ancelotti’s final campaign, which was itself considered alarming.

The latest additions to the list are Kylian Mbappe, who has suffered a muscle injury in his left leg.

Top defender Eder Militao, too, has sustained a hamstring injury serious enough to require surgery and will rule him out for at least five months, thus ending his World Cup hopes.
