Real Madrid Crisis Deepens: Mbappé a Doubt and Militão Sidelined for Months Before Manchester City

Mbappé doubtful, defense ravaged, Xabi Alonso faces a referendum against Manchester City.

Overview

  • Mbappé skipped Tuesday’s group session after fracturing his left ring finger and is described by Spanish media as very uncertain due to additional discomfort, while Eduardo Camavinga also missed training.
  • Real Madrid officially diagnosed Éder Militão with a rupture of the left biceps femoris with proximal tendon involvement, with reports indicating a multi‑week to months absence.
  • A depleted back line already lacks Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Trent Alexander‑Arnold and Dean Huijsen, leaving Xabi Alonso short of senior defenders.
  • The 0-2 home loss to Celta Vigo featured two on‑field expulsions and a red card for Endrick, with the referee’s report detailing heated remarks from players and post‑match tensions in the tunnel.
  • Spanish outlets report a fractious dressing room and intensifying scrutiny of Alonso; the coach insists he has the squad’s support as Real, four points behind Barcelona in La Liga, host Manchester City on Wednesday.
