Serious personnel issues at Real Madrid

The game, which takes place this afternoon at the El Sadar stadium, could have a decisive impact on the Madrilenians' position in La Liga sports.yahoo.com. The pressure is heavy on Carlo Ancelotti's side, who are now just a point ahead of their rivals after a lackluster performance that included a defeat against Espanyol and a draw against Atlético Madrid. In order to consolidate their championship contender position, a win against Osasuna is essential.

The situation becomes particularly tricky defensively. Ancelotti will be without the injured David Alaba, Antonio Rudiger and Lucas Vazquez, who are key players in the defensive line and will be out for several weeks. This means that Aurelien Tchouameni, Raul Asencio and Federico Valverde will once again have to take on an important role in the defense. Their interaction will be crucial to win the battle for points today and usher in a return to dominance in La Liga, with competition from Barcelona and Atlético waiting in wait.
