The successive problems in Real Madrid's defense have bothered the coach of the team, Zinedine Zidane, since the beginning of the season until now, and with the current absences, they will continue until the end of the difficult season.
Zidane misses 3 of his most important defenders in light of crucial days of this season, in which the team fights on two important fronts, as Raphael Varane was infected with the Corona virus;
Which will force him to miss the second leg match against Liverpool in the Champions League, and also missed the first leg, in addition to his absence from El Clasico in front of Barcelona next Saturday.
Dani Carvajal and Sergio Ramos are also absent due to injury, and these influential defensive absences are the latest in a long list of the Royal setbacks in series this season.
So that we know the extent of Real Madrid's defensive crisis, the Spanish press has monitored that Ferland Mendy is the only defender, who has not been injured this season, while the other seven were absent several times, and a total of 23 injuries were distributed between Carvajal, Ramos, Alvaro Odriozola, and Eder Militao, Nacho, Marcelo, and Varane.
The total absence of the seven stadiums was 509 days, so much so that Zidane was unable to benefit from the four main defenders he had combined (Carvajal, Ramos, Varane and Mendi) in only 6 games out of 40 matches in all competitions, and the last time he played four-way together was in 23 Last December against Granada.
The situation has become more complicated now after Varane was injured in Corona, as Zidane will have to play crucial matches, including Liverpool and Barcelona, without the main central defender duo.
