This Real Madrid star suffered an injury and will be out of action for a long time

This Saturday Real Madrid achieved an unforgettable 2-1 victory against Barcelona in Montjuic after starting off down on the scoreboard by Ilkay Gundogan's goal. But in the second half Jude Bellingham netted two goals, the second of them in stoppage time, and Los Merengues celebrated.

With these three points, Carlo Ancelotti's team remain leaders of the La Liga standings alongside the surprising Girona with 28 points and took a four-point lead over Los Blaugranas. But they cannot relax: Atlético Madrid have two games in hand and 22 points, so they could catch them at the top.

However, it was not all good news for Real Madrid in Catalonia. This Sunday the Spanish club released a statement informing that one of the team's midfielders will be out of action for a long time: "Following tests carried out on our player Aurélien Tchouaméni by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with an incomplete stress fracture of the second metatarsal of the left foot. Pending evolution".

Although Real Madrid did not provide information on the amount of time the French midfielder will need to fully recover from his injury and return to the team, Marca newspaper claims that it will be a month and a half at the most. This means that he will miss at least 4 La Liga matches and the last 3 matches of the Champions League group stage. In addition, he will not be able to join the France national team for the international break in November.

Problems for the coach

Without Aurélien Tchouaméni, Carlo Ancelotti will have to think of alternatives for Real Madrid's midfield. This will probably force him to use Eduardo Camavinga again in that position and not as a left-back. In addition, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric will have more participation in the team now.
