Real Madrid manager José Mourinho is facing a major selection challenge ahead of the club’s UEFA Champions League meeting with Inter Milan, with several key midfield options unavailable for the fixture.
According to Spanish newspaper AS, Real Madrid will be without Bernardo Silva, Arda Güler and Eduardo Camavinga after the trio were ruled out through suspension.
The absences have left Mourinho with limited options as he prepares his team for the highly anticipated European encounter, with the Portuguese coach expected to consider alternative tactical solutions.
Bernardo Silva’s creativity, Güler’s attacking ability and Camavinga’s versatility have all been important elements in Real Madrid’s midfield structure, and their absence could force Mourinho to make changes to his usual approach.
The match against Inter is expected to test Real Madrid’s squad depth as the club looks to compete at the highest level in Europe.
Mourinho, known for his tactical flexibility during his managerial career, may have to rely on less conventional formations or introduce players with fewer recent starts to cover the midfield shortage.
Real Madrid and Inter Milan are scheduled to meet in the Champions League on September 8, with both sides aiming for a strong start to their European campaigns.
