The Austrian defender suffered a puncture in the hamstring of his right leg
The Brazilian striker withdrew with an overload in the gluteus of his left leg
The win at Anfield against Liverpool (2-5) left a small mole in the joy of a Real Madrid that is already savoring the pass to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The victory left physical consequences that can take its toll in the next commitments, since David Alaba and Rodrygo could not finish the match due to injury.
The most worrying case is that of the Austrian defender, who had to be replaced before half an hour into the game by Nacho, after suffering a strain while chasing a raid by Henderson that did not end in a goal due to Militao’s last intervention.
Alaba had just overcome an injury to the soleus of his right leg that kept him out of the Spanish Super Cup and also kept him in the dry dock against Athletic, Real Sociedad and Valencia in the League and Villarreal and Atlético in the Copa del Rey. Against Liverpool he noted a puncture in the hamstringalso with his right leg, which cast doubt on his participation in the League derby against Atlético on Saturday and the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal against Barça.
Less important seems the mishap of a Rodrygo who had to be replaced by Dani Ceballos in the final stretch, exhausted by the effort made throughout the entire match. The Brazilian left limping noticeably, the result of a overload on the gluteus of his left leg. Depending on what a more exhaustive examination determines upon arrival in Madrid, the striker is at least a doubt for the derby on Saturday.
These injuries are added to those of Aurélien Tchouaméni, Ferland Mendy and Mariano.
