Real Madrid Faces Injury Crisis Ahead of Getafe Clash
1 Mar
Summary
- Real Madrid trails Barcelona by five points in La Liga.
- Key players like Mbappe and Bellingham are sidelined with injuries.
- Getafe has shown recent strong form despite previous losses.
Real Madrid is set to face Getafe in their next La Liga fixture. The team currently trails league leaders Barcelona by five points, making this match critical for their championship aspirations. A recent 2-1 loss to Osasuna ended a strong start to 2026 and allowed Barcelona to overtake them.
Adding to their challenges, Real Madrid is dealing with a significant injury crisis. Alvaro Arbeloa's squad will be without several key players, including Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Eder Militao, Dani Ceballos, and Rodrygo. Dean Huijsen is also a doubt for the Getafe game.
Getafe enters the match in 13th place, having recently lost to Sevilla but showing a four-game unbeaten run prior to that. They previously secured back-to-back wins against Villarreal and Alaves, demonstrating their capability.
Real Madrid won the reverse fixture 1-0, with Mbappe scoring late in the game against a Getafe side that had a player sent off.
