At a press conference today, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti announced that defender Fran García will miss the upcoming Madrid Derby against Atlético Madrid due to a minor training injury.
This setback is particularly challenging for a team already dealing with lineup issues.
Ancelotti described García’s injury as not serious but confirmed it would exclude him from this important match.
“Fran has been a key player for us, and we’ll definitely miss him,” Ancelotti stated. “Still, we believe in our squad’s depth to fill the gap.”
García’s absence prompts questions about the defensive setup as Real Madrid prepares to face a tough Atlético team, recognized for its physicality and tactical rigor.
This match is critical for both clubs in their quest for La Liga success, and losing a significant player like García puts added pressure on Ancelotti to adapt his strategy.
Fans and analysts will be keen to see how Real Madrid adjusts without García. The derby is always intensely competitive, where even minor factors can influence the result.
As the Madrid Derby approaches, Real Madrid aims to secure crucial points, with or without one of their key defenders.
Ancelotti and his team are focused on overcoming this challenge as they strive for victory in this highly anticipated match.
