Injuries Become a Nightmare for Mourinho and Real Madrid in Preseason

Injuries have turned into the biggest worry for José Mourinho and Real Madrid during the pre-season at Valdebebas, as they have caused the team significant struggles in recent seasons, particularly in defense.

Mourinho and his coaching staff, in collaboration with various club departments, have developed a specific plan to prevent injuries during the preparation period, aiming to avoid the scenario that plagued Real Madrid in past seasons and its impact on the team's performance throughout the season.

So far, it seems that the precautionary measures have paid off, as the injuries sustained by Real Madrid players during training at Valdebebas have been limited to Marco Asensio, who is suffering from a muscular injury in the right quadriceps, and Thiago Pitarque, who has a knee sprain.

Several players at Real Madrid are continuing their recovery from injuries, which they sustained last season. These include Rodrygo, Éder Militão, and Ferland Mendy.

Endrick's situation is a clear example of Real Madrid's commitment to avoiding injuries, as the Brazilian forward suffered from several muscular issues during his time at Lyon. Therefore, he is currently undergoing a special and individualized program aimed at preventing the recurrence of these problems.

According to "Mundo Deportivo," recent pre-season periods have seen up to eight Real Madrid players injured, including Thibaut Courtois, Éder Militão, Jude Bellingham, and Eduardo Camavinga, casting a shadow over the team's season.
