Madrid rules out signing another central defender after Militao's injury

After closing the signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga this Monday, the Real Madrid seems to have closed definitively the market estival, still when the drop of Éder Militao supposes to go to by another reinforcement before 1 September. Although the injury of Thibaut Courtois is identical to the one of the Brazilian (break of the ligament crossed previous of the left knee), so much the directive like the technical body think that the staff has with what suplir the drop of the defender of 25 years.

In this sense, the surroundings madridista keeps the calm in spite of the absence of Militao during, practically, all the season. The one of Sao Paulo will be at least seven months was (recently would reappear to finals of March or April), but the club trusts fully in Antonio Rüdiger and Nacho to cover his absence, at least during the first stretch of the 2023/24. If of here to January the things leave badly, in January yes will bet by fichar to another central.

Rúdiger Will assume the titularity immediately

In principle, the German will be the attendant to accompany to David Praises in the saga from the next day of LaLiga (the Saturday in field of the Almería). Antonio left good feelings in the pre-season and, after playing a total of 3.844 minutes in his first year in Chamartín (even played more than Praise), Carlo Ancelotti is convinced in giving him the confidence to lead the bottom 'merengue' beside the Austrian.

By his part, Nacho will keep on being the 'joker' of 'Carletto' in defence. The international Spanish can occupy any one of the positions backwards and, as first captain after the exit of Karim Benzema, is very likely that surpass the 44 parties (2.676 minutes) of action that added in the 22/23. Fran García will follow occupying the left band, whereas Dani Carvajal will follow suit by right. When any fail, Nacho will be smart to replace them.

The infirmary of the Madrid begins to fill very fast

In addition to Courtois and Militao, the Madrid also lost to Burn Güler by the next two months by an injury in the internal meniscus of his right knee that forced him to go through the operating theatre. By his part, Dani Ceballos, the first in falling lesionado in the pre-season, recently will reappear in September after lesionarse the sinew distal of the muscle biceps femoral right. Another that will be at least two weeks more was is Ferland Mendy because of a muscular injury in the biceps femoral right. To the Madrid has filled him the infirmary very soon, a symptom of what can be the rest of the season 'merengue'.
