Four Real Madrid players at risk of suspension against Getafe | OneFootball

Real Madrid are set to resume their La Liga campaign this weekend as they take on Leganes.

The club have already announced their final squad for the clash, which includes 17-year-old talent Diego Aguado – a sign of Real Madrid’s alarming weakness in depth.

This depth could be challenged once again in Real Madrid’s next league game against Getafe, with four players currently at risk of missing that game due to suspension.

Four players risk suspension vs Getafe

The players in question are Vinicius Junior, Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez.

All four players have picked up four yellow cards in La Liga this season and are only one booking away from missing the next game.

In fact, there is a possibility all three players have to play throughout ninety minutes. Hence, there is a substantial chance of at least one of them picking up a booking.

The absence of any among these three players could be catastrophic for Real Madrid, especially given the ongoing injury woes.

All eyes on Vinicius

Vinicius Junior, in particular, is walking a tightrope as the forward is not only running the risk of missing the Getafe game but also the next Champions League tie.

That is because the Brazilian international is just one booking away from meeting the threshold, meaning a booking against Liverpool next week could see him being ruled out of action against Atalanta.

Real Madrid simply cannot afford to have Vinicius out for either of these matches. The forward, therefore, must control his emotion as his team gears up for a tough period ahead.
