Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni will be sidelined for a month after sustaining an ankle sprain during the team’s 3-1 loss to AC Milan in the Champions League. Tchouaméni was substituted at halftime with the score 2-1 against Madrid, and a club statement confirmed the diagnosis. This injury poses a significant challenge for the team, who will miss him in crucial upcoming matches and aims to catch up to Barcelona in LaLiga.
Tchouaméni's absence will be felt in several key fixtures including Saturday’s LaLiga clash against Osasuna, and France's UEFA Nations League matches against Israel and Italy. Real Madrid has been grappling with a series of injuries to key players in recent weeks, impacting their performance significantly. This ongoing injury crisis has left both players and coach Carlo Ancelotti under immense pressure, especially after disappointing back-to-back defeats.
This season has been fraught with challenges for Real Madrid; they lost 4-0 to Barcelona in El Clásico and followed that with a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan. The Champions League phase has not been kind either—after just four matches, they've lost two and had to stage late comebacks in previous games to secure wins. With current standings nine points behind Barcelona in LaLiga, Madrid faces an uphill battle.
The pressure on Real Madrid is mounting with the string of injuries and disappointing results. Coach Carlo Ancelotti's squad not only has to contend with key players out, like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, full-back Dani Carvajal, and David Alaba, who is recovering from an ACL tear, but must also find a way to perform under scrutiny as they strive to recover lost ground in league and European competitions.
