Real Madrid’s injury problems
Before the start of the season, Los Merengues lost their goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to a long-term injury, after the Belgian tore his anterior cruciate ligament. Star centre-back Eder Militao followed suit, suffering a similar fate as the former Chelsea man.
The cloud cast over Real Madrid’s start to the season became darker when Vinicius Jr. came off injured in the 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo.

Vinicius returned to training with the rest of the Real Madrid squad along with exciting young signing Arda Guler, who got injured before he could truly entertain his new fans.
In the pre-match press conference ahead of their clash against Atletico in the Madrid derby, Ancelotti confirmed that Vinicius is fully fit and able to participate in the tie.
