Another one for Real Madrid | OneFootball

After the controversy following the derby, in which Real Madrid showed they were not up to the task, the problems have not stopped for Mourinho’s side. Added to the injury to Fede Valverde, who suffered a grade 3 sprain in his left ankle in a controversial challenge with Atlético de Madrid player Kang-in Lee, is the now confirmed absence of Ibrahima Konaté, who has been diagnosed with a collateral ligament injury in his right leg during this international break. The center-back, who had been called up by France in the first squad of the Zinedine Zidane era, has left the French camp and is back in Madrid, working on his recovery. Although the club has not confirmed how long he will be out, he is expected to be available for matchday 8 against Villarreal at the Bernabéu.

A very significant absence, not only for the French national team but also for Real Madrid, as his absence could be crucial for Los Blancos due to the lack of reliable options in defense, giving the club even more reason to closely monitor the French player’s progress. All of this adds up to a stormy start to the season, in which they have recorded their worst points tally at this stage of a league campaign since 2019. Without a doubt, these have not been easy weeks for Madrid fans, who hope their players will step up on the pitch and turn this situation around.
