La Liga giants Real Madrid have early this week seen the club’s personnel woes added to once more.
This comes amid confirmation that defender Jacobo Ramón has been condemned to a fresh upcoming spell on the sidelines.
Jacobo, for his part, was expected to be afforded an imminent recall to the first-team setup at Valdebebas, after picking up an injury whilst training with Carlo Ancelotti’s troops early last month.
Just when the 19-year-old was close to a return, however, a fresh setback has been confirmed.
As revealed by Relevo, Jacobo has suffered another injury, on this occasion a tendon problem, which is expected to keep him out of action for around a month.
This of course adds to what is nothing short of a defensive crisis on the white half of Madrid at present, with long-term injury absentees David Alaba, Dani Carvajal and Joan Martínez having this weekend been joined on the treatment table by Éder Militão (ACL), and Lucas Vázquez.
