Real Madrid defeated Getafe on Wednesday to stay in the La Liga title race, but it didn't come without sacrificing. Two important players suffered during the procedure in the Colosseum injury problems and Carlo Ancelotti then yielded a disturbing first update about the situation.
According to Marca, Ancelotti told the media after the game that the injuries of David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga are expected to be serious enough to keep them out of the next Real Madrid match, that is the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona this weekend.
“Camavinga must be seen tomorrow, but his and Alaba are muscular discomfort and it is difficult for him to be present on Saturday. Yes, Fran GarcÃa is the only alternative to left back.”
Ancelotti also supplied his assessment of the victory against Getafe, which was made very difficult for his Real Madrid side.
“I am not upset because the goal was to get the three points. The first half was better and the second half was more suffering. Güler played like an interior and he did very well. It is true that we are looking for more firmness on the back and we miss more effectiveness. We have to be more effective.
Ancelotti also spoke glowing about Arda Guler, who was the match winner of Real Madrid, while he also spoke about the situations of Endrick Felipe, Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo.
“The future of Güler will be more like a midfield than as an attacker. The quality he has in the construction of the game is phenomenal. Endrick had two chances. The first could not do better. The second is offside. Brahim has been a bit pronounced in the past periods, but he has played a very complete game in every way. I have not done it anymore.
