Real Madrid injury crisis: Carlo Ancelotti loses Castilla central defender due to tendon problem
Real Madrid continue to be ravaged by injuries this season, and after Rodrygo Goes, Lucas Vazquez and Eder Militao all went down on Saturday, Monday morning's training session brought even more setbacks to Carlo Ancelotti. Defender of Real Madrid Castilla Jacob Ramon he also went down with an injury.
The 19-year-old was one of the options in contention for the first team behind Antonio Rudiger and Militao, but has been hit with injuries repeatedly this season. Injured on October 9th in training, he was supposed to make his debut against Alaves earlier too, but it ended up being Jesus Vallejo who came.

Now Relief report that he has damaged the tendons in his ankle, and will be out for another month, ie Ancelotti could not call on him for his next six games. Initially, he had been ahead of Raul Asencio in the pecking order, but after his injuries and Asencio's impressive debut, Ramon was disappointed to miss a golden opportunity.
For Ancelotti, it means things are even thinner on the ground. Asencio and Ramon were the only two mentioned as potential options to be promoted after 17-year-old Joan Martinez suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in August. The Italian will rely on Rudiger, Asencio and Vallejo for most of the rest of 2024, although Aurelien Tchouameni could return at the end of the month.
