Real Madrid facing 'terrifying scenario' as Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe and Brahim Diaz to undergo fitness tests after Liverpool defeat

<p>Real Madrid's visit to Anfield on Wednesday turned out to be a nightmare as the team not only <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-liverpool-kylian-mbappe/blt43918542670e07f6" target="_blank">succumbed to a 2-0 defeat against Liverpool </a>but also several injury concerns have now compounded the woes of Carlo Ancelotti’s side. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-injury-crisis-eduardo-camavinga-vinicius-jr-rodrygo-champions-league-loss-to-liverpool/bltd497dd82e494676d" target="_blank">Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga was forced off with a hamstring injury</a>, and now the situation has worsened with <a href="https://as.com/futbol/primera/sigue-la-plaga-mbappe-bellingham-y-brahim-tocados-n/" target="_blank"><em>AS</em></a> reporting the club is facing a "terrifying scenario" as three more players in Bellingham, Mbappe, and Díaz will undergo medical scans on Friday to evaluate their conditions after they returned to Spain with niggles.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Real Madrid’s injury situation is already precarious,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/vinicius-junior-injury-overloaded-calendar-la-liga-president-javier-tebas-echoes-criticism-real-madrid/bltca1199c778a2020b" target="_blank"> with Rodrygo and Vinícius Jr. sidelined.</a> If Mbappe is ruled out, the team could be left without its first-choice attacking trio when they face Getafe on Sunday. Adding to Ancelotti’s concerns, there are doubts surrounding <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-los-blancos-aurelien-tchouameni-injury-defeats-barcelona-ac-milan/bltf13fdabe919b532d" target="_blank">Aurelien Tchouameni’s fitness for the weekend</a> clash as the French international is nursing an ankle injury.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Ancelotti’s tactical options are rapidly diminishing, and the manager will need to be resourceful in overcoming these setbacks. The use of Castilla players could provide a temporary solution, but relying on inexperienced talent when they are chasing leaders Barcelona in La Liga is far from ideal. The Italian had called up six reserve team players for the trip to Merseyside with Raul Asencio getting the nod to start beside Antonio Rudiger in defence. </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The challenges do not stop with Getafe. Real Madrid face a demanding schedule in December, starting with a Champions League clash against Atalanta on December 10, followed by the Intercontinental Cup final on December 18. These matches are critical for the club's aspirations this season, and Ancelotti will be wary of aggravating any player’s condition. This delicate balancing act could mean resting players against Getafe, even if they are cleared for action, to ensure they are fit for the crucial fixtures ahead.</p>
