Real Madrid’s 4-0 victory over Osasuna was overshadowed by injuries to key players, most notably Eder Militao, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury. It marks Militao’s second ACL injury within a year, leaving Los Blancos with significant defensive concerns. Speculation has already begun about a potential return for free agent Sergio Ramos to bolster the defensive lineup.

In the same match, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo were also forced off with setbacks. Vazquez has been diagnosed with an injury to the long adductor muscle in his left leg, while Rodrygo has damaged the rectus femoris of his left leg. The club has confirmed that both players will be sidelined for at least a month.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti refrained from commenting on potential signings during the January transfer window, choosing instead to focus on managing the current squad amidst the injury crisis. The loss of Militao, combined with the absences of Vazquez and Rodrygo adds to Los Blancos’ growing concerns, as they also have key figures like Tchouameni, Carvajal, Courtois, and Alaba currently sidelined.
