Four Real Madrid players at risk of suspension heading into Atalanta encounter | OneFootball

Real Madrid are gearing up for a crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Atalanta, but the team faces a tricky situation.

This is because several players are at risk of an automatic suspension, which could affect their availability for future matches.

While the team’s focus is on securing a vital victory, they must also keep in mind the potential threat of suspensions due to yellow cards.

For what it is worth, Real Madrid are currently the team with the highest number of players on the brink of suspension in this Champions League campaign.

If any of the players who have already received two yellow cards this season receive another one during the match against Atalanta, they will be sidelined for the next Champions League fixture.

This puts significant pressure on the team, as six players are in danger of suspension.

However, two of these players, Eder Militao and Eduardo Camavinga, are already injured and will not be available for selection in Italy.

This leaves four key players at risk: Vinicius Jr., Endrick, Luka Modric, and Lucas Vazquez. These are not just any players; they are vital members of Real Madrid’s squad.

To begin with, Vinicius is known for his ability to change the flow of a game with his skill and pace, making him a game-changer for the team.

Modric, though one of the older players in the squad, is still one of the best in the world and has dominated the Champions League for many years.

Vazquez, the only fully fit right-back, is another important player, though Federico Valverde can also fill in at right-back if necessary.

As for Endrick, despite his young age and limited experience in the Champions League, he has already accumulated two yellow cards in just three appearances, meaning one more could lead to an automatic suspension for the next match against RB Salzburg.

With these key players on edge, Real Madrid must carefully balance their approach to the Atalanta match.
