Who will come? Real Madrid s right-back choice: Valverde doesn t want to play, Asensio can t play

Today, Real Madrid officially announced that right-back Kavajal suffered a soleus injury, and there were reports that he would be absent for 4-5 weeks. Previously, another right-back of Real Madrid, Arnold, was seriously injured and still recovering. Real Madrid currently has no healthy real right-back in the team.

"Daily Sports Daily" wrote an article analyzing Real Madrid's choice in this position. The injury list forces Alonso to change his plan, which is no easy task. Especially at the right-back position, Valverde is the most likely candidate to fill the vacancy, but he has publicly denied that he wants to return to the right-back position. Although this is what he said when he was in the worst form and completely lost his value during his recent play at Real Madrid.

Another option is Asensio, but since Militon and Rudiger will also be out, he will have to partner with Heysen.

Although Asensio performed poorly in the Club World Cup, Alonso did not trust Alaba. Although the latter is one of the highest-paid players in the team, he will only be used as a midfielder unless absolutely necessary. Another idea is to get Joan Améni back to the defensive line and make some sacrifices while allowing Asensio to play right back, but this will further undermine the team's offensive and defensive balance, which has been shown in the loss against Atletico.
