Real Madrid’s defensive crisis deepens as David Alaba is ruled out for the season due to injury. With Eder Militao also unlikely to feature again this season, manager Carlo Ancelotti may have to reconsider his January transfer plans. Despite the setbacks, Ancelotti confirmed that full back pair Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy are both okay, with Carvajal set to train with the team and Mendy not suffering a serious injury.
