Football : Real Madrid, from injuries to hopes of a comeback in 2024
In light of the overall of Real Madrid performance this season across all competitions, it is challenging to conceive that Carlo Ancelotti has been deprived of several key players since the beginning of the 2023-2024 season, given the impressive results. With 24 matches played, the record consists of 20 victories, 3 draws, and only one defeat.
Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Eder Militao have all suffered from a cruciate ligament rupture, while Eduardo Camavinga fell victim to a ligament tear, and Vinicius suffered a muscle rupture. Additionally, Arda Güler, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Dani Carvajal also had to deal with challenging injuries.
However, the beginning of 2024 seems to bring positive prospects. According to information from Mundo Deportivo on Tuesday, Real Madrid’s infirmary should gradually empty in this early part of the new year. Camavinga, Carvajal, and Güler are expected to be available for the first match against Mallorca on January 3.
The much-awaited return of Vinicius to the Madrid ranks should also materialize shortly after, during the Spanish Super Cup, which will take place from January 10 to 14 in Saudi Arabia. This contrasts with the initial assessments that anticipated a return in February. These promising developments will undoubtedly bring joy to Carlo Ancelotti and the passionate supporters of the Spanish club.
