Real Madrid have been suffering from a serious injury crisis all season and their wounds are only deepening with every passing game.

Los Blancos have already lost Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao to long-term injuries while Lucas Vazquez made his return to the field off the bench last night.

Just when it appeared that the team was beginning to regain some depth with positive news around Aurelien Tchouameni and Rodrygo, however, they appear to have again lost some big names at Anfield.

Big worries in the management

Eduardo Camavinga left the field injured last night in Liverpool and has been ruled out for the near future with a muscular setback.

Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham also, however, finished the game with discomfort and will undergo tests.

As relayed by MARCA in a recent update, there is now significant tension growing in the Real Madrid administration over the methods followed by the fitness coach Antonio Pintus.

The physical trainer has always ensured that players stay fit through the season but with stars now falling to injury game after game, there are big concerns that could bring with them big repercussions.

As relayed earlier this month, the pressure has been building on Pintus for a long time now with even the dressing room doubting his ideas.

Many see his style to be old-fashioned for today’s fast-paced game and there have even been talks of internal disagreements between Pintus and the management over the distance covered by players in games.

The fitness trainer, moreover, has refused to take accountability for players’ injuries and their recovery in recent times and his future is increasingly in the air.
