Aurelien Chuameni could return for Real Madrid in Wednesday’s Champions League trip to Liverpool. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti may have no choice. But to play Aurelien Chuameni for Wednesday’s Champions League trip to Anfield to face Liverpool with the Los Blancos facing a defensive crisis. Diario AS reported on Saturday.
Real Madrid have lost Eder Militao to a torn ACL in his right knee. That has ended the season prematurely. While David Alaba has yet to fully recover from his injury suffered last year, leaving Ancelotti with only Antonio Rudiger as his preferred centre-back option. With Raul Asensio brought in from the reserves as the Italian manager loses confidence in Jesus Vallejo.UFABET
Real Madrid are reportedly trying their best to make Chuameni available for the trip to Liverpool. Although the choice to field the Frenchman as a centre-back could risk further injury.
Chuameni injured his ankle during the 3-1 Champions League defeat at AC Milan in early November. And is expected to be out for around a month. But if he plays at Anfield on Wednesday it will mean he will be out for just 22 days.
Regarding Real Madrid’s approach post-Militao. Ancelotti pointed out earlier in November: “We have resources. The youngsters are very good, like [Raul] Asencio and as an emergency, we have Tchouameni.”
