After taking yet another possible hit when Kylian Mbappe was substituted against Atalanta, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti stated that his team’s injury problems are preventing him from rotating his squad more. Nevertheless, Ancelotti was happy with his team when they defeated Atalanta 3-2.
According to Diario AS, Los Blancos have sustained 27 injuries in their 23 games this season, averaging more than one injury per game.
A significant portion of the blame has recently been placed on fitness coach Antonio Pintus due to an abnormally bad injury record.
These numbers do not include the severe knee injuries that David Alaba and young players Joan Martinez and Cesar Palacios sustained during the preseason. To date, Eduardo Camavinga has missed nine games, Carvajal has missed 11 and Militao has missed six.

Although, Pintus has been the subject of local media reports, however, According to Football Espana, Ancelotti clarified after the game that he doesn’t frequently switch up his starting lineup.
“Now we have to wait until Christmas, there is no other option. The schedule is demanding, the staff is small and does not allow rotation.
“When we get players back there will be more competition, but what will not change is that I am going to put the best team possible to win each game,” he told Mundo Deportivo.
