Worrying signs – Injury bug strikes again.
One can only hope this international break doesn’t aggravate the situation.
It was the defense last season. This season, Real Madrid have three midfielders injured after just five official games.
First it was Eduardo Camavinga, then Jude Bellingham, now Dani Ceballos is out for 6-8 weeks, per reports in Spain.

That being said, injuries are not an excuse….
The season has barely begun so the argument can’t be made that players have been run into the ground. With national team commitments over the summer and during the international breaks, expect injuries. A team like Real Madrid competing on all fronts needs a deep squad. The squad planning has to be better.
