Real Madrid Faces Right-Back Crisis as Carvajal Suspended, Injured

Carvajal's suspension comes after receiving a red card in the Champions League match against Olympique de Marseille. He will miss crucial games against Kairat Kazakhstan and Juventus. However, his injury, a muscle tear in the sole of his right foot, is an even bigger concern. It will keep him out for a month. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that Jesus Fortea, the only other natural right-back in the squad, is currently with the Spain U20 team. Trent Alexander-Arnold, another right-back, is also injured. He picked up an injury during the same match against Marseille and will be out for six to eight weeks. David Jimenez is now the only natural right-back available, with Raul Asencio being another option. Real Madrid's right-back position is in turmoil. Dani Carvajal's suspension and injury leave the team with limited options. David Jimenez and Raul Asencio will have to step up in the coming games.
