Other trouble for Alonso, only five guards left for the Juvenus fight.

Austrian defenders were only named second this Sunday evening to the Getafes, but played only 45 minutes before being replaced by Raul Asencio in interpartal break. Turns out he's got a muscle pull on his right leg. According to “Marca”, Alabama is expected to be missing for 7 to 10 days.

The experienced defender will be missing in the Champions League match this week against Juventu, as well as Sunday's El Clásico against Barcelona. Depending on the rate of recovery, Alabama may be ready for a match against Vallencias in “Santiago Bernabéu”, after which Real Madrid travels to “Anfield” to confront Liverpool.

The news came shortly before Xabi Alonso confirmed that Dean Huijsen, Danny Carvaal and Trent Alexander - Arnold won't be ready in time for the match against Juvenus. This leaves Real Madrid with only five healthy defenders, three of whom are left defense: Éder Militão, Raul Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Álvaro Carreras and Fran García. It should be noted that Fede Valverde has often played as a right defense, while Eduardo Camavinga and Aureleen Tchoaméni have also been used in defense in some cases. Carreras has played a three-month defense.

Real Madrid's hope is that Huijsen, Carvaal and Alexander-Arnold will be ready in time for El Clásico, though only the protector is expected to be the title. This means that Alonso is designed to list Carreras, Huijsen, Militão and Valverde in defense of Clásico, with Asencion replacing Huijsen until his return.
