JAKARTA - Real Madrid are hit by a big problem. The Spanish La Liga club had to face problems with player injuries after the match against Las Palmas, Wednesday, September 27, local time.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti announced two key players on their back lines, David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger, were injured in the match.

David Alaba was forced to be replaced in the first half after experiencing problems with the muscles of the abductor. This injury is expected to see the Austrian international miss the match against Girona, Saturday, September 30.

Meanwhile, Rudiger, who managed to finish the match, was also reported to have suffered an injury. Although it is not clear to what extent the severity is, Rudiger is also doubtful for the match against Girona.

"Rudiger suffered an injury from a collision, but we think he will be fine for the next game," said Ancelotti.

The injury problem comes amid fears Real Madrid have already lost several key players due to injury. Eder Militao has been sidelined in the long term due to a knee injury, while Thibaut Courtois is also absent due to the same problem.

Arda Guler, who was just brought in in the summer, also faces a thigh injury that extends the list of absent Los Blancos players.

However, Real Madrid has received good news with the recovery of Ferland Mendy and Dani Carvajal. "We have regained Mendy and will get Carvajal back for the next game," said Ancelotti.
