Injuries are not a hindrance. Real will not buy a new centre-back

Real Madrid's head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, stated in a press conference ahead of the match against Mallorca that the club is not considering signing a new center-back during the winter transfer window.

According to Ancelotti, he relies on Antonio Rudiger and Nacho Fernandez in that position until the end of the season. Additionally, Oreljen Tchouameni, a nominal central midfielder, and right-back Dani Carvajal can play in the center of defense.

At the beginning of the season, Real Madrid lost their main center-back, Eder Militao, due to a cruciate ligament injury. Before the New Year, a similar severe injury occurred to David Alaba.
