Injuries are taking their toll on Real Madrid, particularly in defence. Carlo Ancelotti will have to put together a defensive line for La Liga clash against Real Sociedad.

Tiredness and physical fatigue are beginning to appear at this stage of the season. In an unusual year, the World Cup between November and December has increased the pace of matches.
This is something that the different teams are already beginning to notice. One of them is Madrid, who have several players injured. The defence is the most punished line for Real Madrid.
After Alaba's relapse and Mendy's injury, Ancelotti only has three healthy players for the game against Real Sociedad on Sunday: Nacho, Rudiger and Militao, as Vallejo and Odriozola are not usually included in his rotations.
A circumstance that will force the Italian to make a change and look for solutions. One of them is to move Camavinga to left-back, as he did in the Copa del Rey derby against Atleti, and thus give Ceballos a place in midfield. However, the defence remains Ancelotti's biggest headache.
