Real Madrid are facing mounting pressure after consecutive defeats, first against Celta Vigo in La Liga and then at home to Manchester City in the Champions League. These setbacks have placed coach Xabi Alonso under scrutiny, while a severe injury crisis has made the team’s recovery even more difficult. Twelve first-team players will be unavailable for the next league match. On Sunday, Madrid will take on Alaves in La Liga.
Kylian Mbappe missed the clash with Manchester City due to a knee problem and also suffered a broken finger. His availability against Alaves remains uncertain. Although he trained on Friday, the French forward is not fully fit. If his knee improves, he could feature in Vitoria.
Madrid will also be without several key players due to injuries, including Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy and Éder Militão. Suspensions have sidelined Álvaro Carreras and Fran García, leaving Alonso without any natural fullbacks. As a result, teenage defender Víctor Valdepeñas could be handed a chance in the starting lineup.
