The 17-year-old rising star will get opportunities from Real Madrid amid an ongoing injury crisis

Real Madrid's bad luck with injuries continued on Saturday, and in devastating fashion. Eder Militao has torn his anterior cruciate ligament against Osasuna, doing so for the second time in 15 months. And on top of that, Rodrygo Goes and Lucas Vazquez also suffered injuries which keeps them out for several weeks.

The injuries to Lucas and Militao are especially bad news considering they were Carlo Ancelotti's two right-back options for the rest of the season, as Dani Carvajal is also out long-term with a serious hamstring injury. knee Federico Valverde played during the second half against Osasuna, but did not play there up front.

AS Diary say that Jesus Fortea is in pole position to play in the absence of Lucas. Despite being 17 years old, Real Madrid officials have a lot of faith in Fortea, who was recently promoted to the first team following the injury to Carvajal.

Real Madrid take on Leganes in their first match after the international break, and Fortea is a prime candidate to start – it would be his first-team debut. Three days later, he could also be thrown into the lion's den when Los Blancos travel to face Liverpool in the Champions League.
