According to the report from football-espana, Real Madrid were already suffering with a crisis in central defence, but things got even worse during Thursday’s victory over Alaves. Carlo Ancelotti is already without long-term absentees Eder Militao and David Alaba due to injury, and now Nacho Fernandez is out for the time being after being sent off in Vitoria.InformationGuideNigeria
It is the second time this season that Nacho has seen red, having been dismissed in the latter stages of the victory over Girona in September. It means that the veteran defender will miss at least two matches, and it could be more if the Competition Committee decides to hand out an extended suspension.NYSC Portal

It leaves Ancelotti with Antonio Rudiger as his only available senior centre-back. Aurelien Tchouameni filled in for the remainder of the Alaves match, so he is best-placed to play as a defender for the matches against Mallorca and Almeria – although for the latter, a centre-back may be signed before this fixture.JAMB Result
It remains to be seen whether Nacho’s red card will change Real Madrid’s approach to signing a new central defender in January. Ancelotti wants one, but the board will only sign the right player, although the situation could change now following this.
