Real Madrid despair over the number of injuries – ‘It is impossible like this’

It has been a season to forget for Real Madrid, with the team set to finish without any titles after having failed to win any major trophy last term as well.

The poor form of several players and the lack of a clear tactical identity are major concerns for Los Blancos, but at the same time, they have not been helped by injuries across the squad.

Real Madrid devastated

According to MARCA, concern within Real Madrid regarding the number of injuries has grown into major frustration, where the feeling is clear: “It is impossible like this”.

That frustration has deepened following the latest blows. The most serious is Eder Militao’s, as he will undergo surgery this week to treat a muscle injury sustained against Alaves. He will miss the World Cup and is expected to be sidelined for close to five months.

The other setback is Kylian Mbappe’s injury, less severe but still damaging.

With the latest injuries to Militao and Mbappe, Real Madrid have now suffered 55 injuries this season. Combined with 63 from the previous campaign, that makes 118 injuries over the last two years.

By comparison, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have recorded 65 and 82 injuries respectively over the same period. The scale of the problem has left Real Madrid competing with significantly reduced resources.
