Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has expressed concerns over a potential setback for his team due to an injury and addressed controversies surrounding forward Rodrygo ahead of their upcoming match against Real Valladolid at the Bernabeu on Sunday.
Ancelotti confirmed that midfielder Eduardo Camavinga could be sidelined for six to seven weeks, leaving the team with limited options in midfield. With only Aurelien Tchouameni available as a natural pivot, Ancelotti faces challenges in providing defensive cover for his attacking talents like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo.
Regarding Bellingham's availability for the upcoming game, Ancelotti remained tight-lipped, stating that the player is being evaluated and an official statement will be released by the club if he is ruled out.
Meanwhile, Rodrygo has been involved in a controversy following a deleted Whatsapp message, leading to reports of disappointment within the club. Ancelotti clarified that he has spoken to Rodrygo, who denied making any controversial statements and is focused on his performance.
Ancelotti emphasized Rodrygo's qualities and praised his contributions in the team's recent matches. Despite the off-field distractions, Rodrygo is expected to feature alongside Mbappe and Vinicius in the upcoming game.
Real Madrid fans can anticipate an exciting clash against Real Valladolid, with Ancelotti's team aiming to maintain their strong start to the season despite the challenges they are facing.
As the team prepares for the upcoming fixture, Ancelotti's management and the players' focus remain on delivering positive results on the field and overcoming any obstacles that come their way.
