Marca: Real Madrid s lack of soldiers in midfield, Mastantono will debut at Bernabeu on Thursday

August 12th News On Tuesday night local time, Real Madrid will usher in their last pre-season warm-up match in Austria, with their opponent being Tyrol. Before the game, according to Marca, Real Madrid went to Austria in a shortage of major generals.

It is understood that Camavenga stayed in Madrid due to a thigh injury, and Valverde did not go with the team yesterday due to excessive muscle load. Still, Valverde will almost certainly make his debut in his league match against Osasuna next Tuesday.

Therefore, there are only three midfielders in Real Madrid's first team who can play against Tyrol, namely Joan Améni, Guerre and Ceballos. The first two performed outstandingly in the Club World Cup, with Joan Aménie playing a guest appearance as a central defender, while Guerre took control of the midfield while in the United States.

Cebalus faces an uncertain future like every summer, and Betis is willing to bring it back but is reluctant to pay for it. In addition, there are Thiago Pitac and Roberto Martin on the roster, who performed well and scored a goal in a friendly against Leganes.

Bellingham is still recovering except for Kamavenga and Valverde. The England midfielder took a short break after the Club World Cup and finally decided to undergo shoulder surgery to solve the problems that have been bothering him since joining Real Madrid. Although the injury forced him to wear bulky protective gear to play, it did not stop him from becoming the best player in the 2023/2024 season, helping the team win the championship.

This will be the last stop of Real Madrid's shortest preseason in history. Real Madrid's preparation time is only three weeks due to participating in the Club World Cup and La Liga refusal to postpone their match against Osasuna. Alonso believes that the Club World Cup is part of last season, and the time between the official appointment and the team's debut is too short for him to prepare for more.

Marca believes that the most eye-catching change in Real Madrid is the adoption of a three-center-back formation in some games, with new players Wyson and Arnold performing well. Left-back Alvaro Carreras made his debut against Leganes, and he is expected to prove himself again in Austria, where Fran Garcia and Ferran Mendy will also join in the competition.

In addition, on Thursday, Mastantono, who happened to be 18 years old, will officially debut at the Bernabeu, and he is Real Madrid's fourth signing player in the new season. Given the shortage of midfielders, the rising star from River Plate Academic Training Camp is expected to quickly integrate into the team.
