Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has cut a somewhat beleaguered figure in recent weeks, and while this metaphor is generally used less literally, the Italian manager is short on resources and counting his casualties. There have been reports this week that Los Blancos are more concerned about his fitness than Ancelotti's management, and with good reason.
In 8 of Real Madrid's last 11 games, one or more players have gone down injured, the latest of which is Eduardo Camavinga with a hamstring problem. AS Diary report that the Blancos have suffered a total of 23 injuries already this season, despite only playing 20 games. Currently 7 of his team are injured, but 12 have been on the treatment table in the last 8 games.
Two of their injuries have been season-ending in Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, while Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, Brahim Diaz and Dani Ceballos have spent more than a month on the sidelines due to single injuries.
If things don't improve, he could recall the season where Blancos suffered more than 60 injuries in a single season under Zinedine Zidane. While Ancelotti has clearly been far from perfect this season, it would be difficult to rate anyone's performance under such pressure. Not only is he missing key players, but establishing a system or a line-up without any continuity in available players is also difficult. Real MadridThe team's team was on the thinner side as it was, but now it looks very insufficient after his series of injuries. Very famous fitness trainer Antonio Pintus is also under increasing pressure.
