Real Madrid Faces Injury Crisis Ahead of Leganes Match

Real Madrid is set to face Leganes in La Liga after a challenging season marked by injuries, including a season-ending ACL tear for defender Eder Militao. The team has struggled historically against Leganes, winning just two of their last five encounters, and is winless in their last three visits to Municipal de Butarque. Coach Carlo Ancelotti faces a selection dilemma, especially in defense, with key players like Rodrygo and Lucas Vazquez unavailable, prompting speculation that Federico Valverde may fill in as a right-back. Meanwhile, Leganes will also be missing two players due to injuries but aim to secure their first-ever win against Real Madrid in La Liga. Despite recent setbacks, Real Madrid is motivated to capitalize on their momentum from a 4-0 victory over Osasuna before the international break, as they look to close the gap on league leaders Barcelona. The match is crucial for both teams, with Real seeking a fresh start and Leganes aiming to continue their surprising form this season.
