Official: Real Madrid squad list to face Osasuna | OneFootball

Real Madrid have revealed their squad for the upcoming home match against Osasuna, and there are a few notable changes.

One of the most significant updates is the inclusion of Raul Asencio, the Castilla centre-back, who has been called up to bolster the defence.

This decision comes as the team is facing a growing injury crisis in defence, especially following the latest setback to Aurelien Tchouameni.

The midfield player, who was previously considered a potential backup in the centre-back position, becomes the third defensive reinforcement in this difficult situation.

In terms of absentees, the squad sees several key players missing due to injuries. Thibaut Courtois, the first-choice goalkeeper, is out, as is veteran defender David Alaba.

Right-back Dani Carvajal also misses the match, as well as Tchouameni, whose injury leaves Real Madrid even more stretched in their defensive options.

As for the midfield and attack, the familiar faces remain. Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modric, Arda Guler, Federico Valverde, and Dani Ceballos are all present, maintaining the strong core of the team in these crucial areas.

This match against Osasuna is important for Real Madrid, especially given the injury challenges and recent defeats they have faced. However, the squad remains strong, with a mix of experienced players and emerging talent ready to take on the challenge and secure the points.
