The two anterior cruciate ligament tears of Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao. The Belgian goalkeeper broke down on August 10 at Valdebebas before the premiere of the league San Mames, scenario in which the Brazilian fell victim to the same injury. One of the worst injuries a professional footballer can suffer is falling like a double slab on real Madridwho had to face the season without the two most decisive elements of the defense.
Ancelotti made a virtue of necessity and the defense performance of real Madrid was notable, as the team with the fewest goals conceded overall The league (20) despite the alternation in purpose between Kepa and Luna and the damage of praise in January, also tearing his cruciate ligaments.
So things are, Carlo Ancelotti will use Rüdiger and Nacho as a centre-back pair but also had to be used in emergency situations to Tchouaméni yes Carvajalwho occupied the rearguard axis to a great degree despite their inexperience in the position.
The Italian coach saw the national team break as the final stage of the long recovery phase of Courtois and militaryhope to have them for the match against Athletic on the 31st in Bernabeu. The idea is that both, being highly competitive, will pick up the pace against Athletic and Majorca facing the quarter crossing of Champions against him City of Manchester.
However, the meniscus tear that he suffered Courtois This Tuesday he ruins the plans of Carletto and let Eder Militao as the only possible defense reinforcement for the decisive stretch of the season. The Brazilian will come in short of speed and minutes in the tie against those Guardiola (departing April 9th, returning 17th) and probably already Ancelotti don’t want to rush more than necessary in having military against the best attack in Europe.
Therefore, the Italian may choose to continue the marriage Nacho–Rüdiger or change the captain to carry Tchouaméni. However, and expecting no more setbacks in the coming weeks, Ancelotti will have the ammunition of military.
