The Spanish royal team has a list of 8 injuries, making fans and coaching staff worried.
Thibaut Courtois is the first case. With excellent form in recent seasons, the Belgian goalkeeper's absence will leave a big gap in the goal. Andriy Lunin will replace Courtois in the upcoming tournament.
Meanwhile, the defense continues to worry Real Madrid fans as the quartet of Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, David Alaba and Dani Carvajal are still unable to return.
However, coach Xabi Alonso has the services of rookie duo Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, combined with Raul Asencio and Aurelien Tchouameni in defense. These could be key factors in Real Madrid's defense in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

Federico Valverde, one of the team's most prolific midfielders last season, is also out through injury, as is versatile star Eduardo Camavinga, who is not expected to recover in time for the tournament in the United States.
The likes of Jude Bellingham, Brahim Díaz, Dani Ceballos and especially Arda Guler will carry the load in Real Madrid's midfield.
On the offensive line, young talent Endrick is also expected to have difficulty playing. However, coach Alonso still has many stars in the offensive line such as Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo to shoulder the burden.
Coach Alonso has had his first training session at Real Madrid. The former Liverpool midfielder laced up his boots and immersed himself in passing, team-building and defensive drills - as if he were still part of the dressing room. Alonso expects the team to be well prepared for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
