Madrid „Real“ team is facing huge problems in the defense line. In addition to Marcelo, who suffered an injury in the „El Clasico“ match, and Sergio Ramos, who is still struggling with shoulder problems, injured defender Raphael Varane has now joined the list of injured players.
The Frenchman injured his right thigh during the match against „Shakhtar“ and will be sidelined for at least three weeks.
Meanwhile, another key center-back, Sergio Ramos, recently decided to properly address his lingering shoulder injury and will be out of action for two months.
Marcelo, who got injured before the match against „Barcelona,“ is expected to return to the field the soonest among these three players. Last week, a three-week recovery period was forecasted for him.
Having lost three main defenders for an extended period of time, Rafa Benitez will have to find new solutions. It is believed that in the upcoming match against the „Eibar“ club, he will try out Pepe and Nacho Fernandez as the center-back duo, while Dani Carvajal and Danilo will be positioned on the defensive flanks.
