Real Madrid is facing a challenging situation just before their La Liga match against Girona. Coach Xabi Alonso currently lacks any available central defenders due to multiple injury concerns within the squad.
Injury Concerns Before La Liga Match
On the eve of the match, Spanish media reported that Raul Asencio has indicated health issues. If confirmed, Asencio will miss the important La Liga fixture. At just 22 years old, Asencio has gradually become an essential player for the team, participating in 12 matches this season, accumulating 722 minutes on the pitch.
Current Squad Status
Real Madrid’s injury woes do not end with Asencio. Key defenders Antonio Ruediger and Eder Militao are already sidelined. Xabi Alonso also expressed uncertainty regarding David Alaba’s fitness ahead of the match. This growing list of absences puts the team in a difficult position.
- Injured Players:

Real Madrid needs all the strength they can muster to compete against Girona, especially after FC Barcelona’s recent victory over Deportivo Alavés, which pushed them to the top of the La Liga standings. The match is scheduled for 21:00 on Sunday, and with the current crisis, Xabi Alonso may need to implement an experimental lineup once again.
Looking Ahead
As the situation develops, fans are hopeful that other players will step up to ensure a competitive performance against Girona. The injuries pose a significant challenge as Real Madrid aims to reclaim their position in La Liga.
