No fewer than four members of Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid squad saw out the closing moments of the club’s meeting with Liverpool whilst in physical discomfort.
That’s according to Blancos insider Arancha Rodríguez, who has on Thursday provided an insight into the situation.
Real Madrid of course marked their return to action on the continent last night, making the trip to Anfield for a Champions League showdown with Liverpool.
When all was said and done, a largely underwhelming display culminated in the Spanish champions being put to the sword by two goals to nil.
The final scoreline, though, marked far from Real’s only source of concern on the evening.
In addition, Los Merengues saw Eduardo Camavinga limp out of proceedings, with what has since been announced as a hamstring injury.
And, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then Camavinga was far from the only member of Carlo Ancelotti’s ranks to pick up a fresh fitness problem at Anfield.
As per COPE’s Arancha Rodríguez, all of Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé and Brahim Díaz also finished the clash in discomfort.
The trio will, in turn, be put through a round of medical tests on Friday, to ascertain the extent of the damage done, if any.
