Marca: Real Madrid has 7 players absent from Olympiacos, with only Asensio left as central defender

According to "Marca" reports, Real Madrid will have seven players absent from Olympiacos' next away game, leaving only Asensio as a genuine central defender.

Next against Olympiacos, Real Madrid faces a shortage of manpower in the defense. In addition to the injury of goalkeeper Courtois, what worries Alonso most is that he may only have one genuine central defender: Asensio, and the others will stay in Madrid. Joan Armene could be Alonso's savior, returning directly to the starting line-up at centre-back.

Heizen, Militao, Alaba and Rudiger will all miss this game due to injuries. Joan Armene will return after missing 2 games. He has been the team's main force before being injured. In the next away game against Olympiacos, Real Madrid will have 7 players absent, mainly on the defensive end: Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Alaba, Mastantono, Courtois and Huizen.
