"This is not a normal situation": Carlo Ancelotti speaks out on Real Madrid's injury crisis

Throughout the current season, Real Madrid has been dealing with serious squad issues, and head coach Carlo Ancelotti has addressed the problem.

Details: Ahead of the derby against Atlético, the Italian coach stated that he would like to use all his players in their natural positions, but that is currently impossible.

Quote:

"I want to play Aurélien Tchouaméni in midfield and have all my players in their usual positions, but due to the injury situation, we have to adapt.

Some believe that putting an extra forward on the pitch will balance the game, but when there are defensive problems, the entire team must work to solve them. We truly have defensive issues because of so many injuries—Carvajal, Militão. This is not a normal situation."

Ahead of the match against Atlético, Real Madrid has lost key center-back Antonio Rüdiger. Additionally, David Alaba has suffered another injury, while Rüdiger has already been sidelined for a long time due to a cruciate ligament tear.

Reminder: Due to pressure on referees, some La Liga clubs have demanded sanctions against Real Madrid.
