IInjuries continue to affect Alvaro Arbeloa’s plans. The team is going through a difficult period and could head to Vigo without up to 10 players. That’s a big problem for the manager, who will be looking to prevent Barcelona from slipping further away in La Liga with Manchester City on the horizon.
Real Madrid’s team continues to be plagued by injuries, with key players such as Militao, Bellingham, Ceballos, Mbappe and Rodrygo out injured. Added to this list is the uncertainty surrounding David Alaba, who has a calf problem and whose progress is being closely monitored. Additionally, the suspensions of Carreras, Huisen and Mastantuono will further reduce the number of replacement players available to the coaching staff. The only positive comment was provided by Asensio, who offered to travel to help the team after finishing part of a session with the group.

In this connection, the training in Valdebebas included the participation of up to eight youth players. One of the players who has impressed the most is 19-year-old left-sided central defender Ramini Fati, who could be included in the squad for the trip to Vigo. “Alaba won’t play, but Asensio might play. Let’s see now. If not, Diego Aguado or Ramini Fati will play, we’ll see. But Alaba won’t play, that’s for sure,” Arbeloa said at a pre-match press conference. After that, a training session was held, which again included the participation of a young central defender.
According to Valdebebas’ report, the defender stood out in the several practices carried out, showing excellent reading to adjust his position after losing the ball and quickness to fill spaces in the open field. Physically strong and with speed on long runs, he is a defender who conveys safety in individual duels and naturally adapts to advanced defensive scenarios. Two qualities that suit Real Madrid’s style of play particularly well. Also, although Ramini is not a huge man, he is highly effective in the air due to his strong lower body and good timing. However, his great strength is that he is willing to enjoy soccer without worrying too much about what is left behind.
Formed by Leganes, he joined the white club in early 2025 for a fee of 100,000 euros, first joining Juvenil A before moving to Castilla, where he progressed from there and began to earn more first-team appearances. Castilla’s central defenders (Joao Martínez and Balde) were also injured, so a left-sided centre-back was put on the pitch. Against Ponferradina, with Mastantuono and Arbeloa in the stands, Ramini had his best game alongside Mario Rivas.
