Real Madrid is preparing to face guest Getafe on Monday at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in the 26th round of the Spanish La Liga. The team is facing a major crisis, especially in the defensive line. Only German Antonio Rüdiger and Austrian David Alaba will be available in the center of defense, with Brazilian Eder Militão continuing to be absent. A defensive shortage affects the lineup. Spanish newspaper Marca reported that both Raúl Asensio and Dean Huijsen will be sidelined due to injury, with the latter also unable to participate in Monday's match. Other absences will not be limited to just the defense, as Real Madrid will also lack players in other positions.
