Real Madrid Without a Right-Back for Crucial Champions League Clash Against Salzburg

Added at:

Real Madrid continues to struggle with defensive issues on the right flank, as their squad list for the upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Salzburg on Wednesday does not feature a single natural right-back.

Lucas Vázquez, who has been filling in as a makeshift right-back, is suspended for the crucial fixture, leaving Carlo Ancelotti with limited options.

The right side of Madrid's defense has been a persistent weakness throughout this season's Champions League campaign. One of the most glaring examples came in their heavy home defeat to AC Milan, where Theo Hernández exploited the defensive frailties with ease, causing havoc down the flank.

The situation is further complicated by the long-term injury to first-choice right-back Dani Carvajal, who is ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Despite these ongoing struggles, Real Madrid has yet to make any defensive reinforcements in the transfer market, instead relying on Ancelotti to find alternative solutions within the squad.

The pressure is mounting as Los Blancos prepare to face Salzburg without a clear defensive answer, raising concerns ahead of the knockout stages.
