Part 5/8:
Injuries this season have compounded Real Madrid's issues. From Thibaut Courtois's recurrent minor muscle injuries to significant knee injuries for key defenders like Eder Militão, the medical room is overcrowded with players whose absence has further weakened the squad.
The injury front extends across the lineup, with several key attackers also experiencing setbacks. Notably, Vinícius Júnior suffered muscular complications, adding stress to the already strained squad depth. This lack of available options on the field has diminished performance and stability, causing tactical adjustments that have not bore fruit thus far.
