Announced in great danger by the Spanish press, Xabi Alonso will be deprived of several elements for Real Madrid’s trip to Alavés on Sunday. Kylian Mbappé is particularly very uncertain.
Recovery or crisis. Under pressure after its latest defeats, in La Liga against Celta Vigo (2-0) and in the Champions League against Manchester City (2-1), Real Madrid will have no room for error this Sunday. It will be necessary to win on the pitch of Deportivo Alavés to get his head above water and offer a little reprieve to a Xabi Alonso announced in great danger in recent hours by the Spanish press.
Mbappé very uncertain
Problem, the Merengue coach will be deprived of several elements for this trip to the current 11th in Liga. First there are the suspended ones: excluded during or after the match lost in Vigo, Alvaro Carreras, Endrick and Dani Carvajal all three received two match suspensions, compared to a single match suspension for Fran Garcia.
We must then take into account the various injuries in defense: Trent Alexander-Arnold (quadriceps), Ferland Mendy (thigh), David Alaba (muscular) and Eder Militão (thigh). According to the daily Marca, Dean Huijsen, kept away from the field since mid-November, is also uncertain. Regularly hampered by physical problems, Eduardo Camavinga should also be missing.
As for Kylian Mbappé, he remained on the bench on Wednesday against the Skyblues, the fault of a left knee problem and a broken ring finger. And still according to Marca, it is “unlikely” that the captain of the Blues will find playing time on Sunday. “No risks will be taken,” says the daily.
