Maximum Concern at Real Madrid: He Gets Injured and Sets off Alarms

He could miss many months of competition and the club is obliged to react

Real Madrid is having a lot of problems with serious injuries in recent years. Last season, Militão, Courtois, and Alaba went down, and this time it's been the Brazilian and Carvajal again. Ancelotti has lost many players for too long these campaigns.

Bad news keeps coming, this time for one of the players they're keeping a close eye on. Nico Paz had to leave the field injured in the last game against Lazio. The Madrid academy player suffered a brutal tackle at ankle height.

The Argentine left the field without even being able to put weight on his foot due to the pain. As soon as he was hit by the Lazio player, he went to the ground with obvious signs of pain. Things didn't look good, and we'll have to wait for tests to determine what's wrong.

As we said, it looks like Nico Paz's injury is going to be serious, which is why the refereeing was so surprising. It was in the 20th minute when Gigot went all in, giving him a studs-up tackle on the ankle. However, even though the play was reviewed by VAR, the offender wasn't even cautioned.

Real Madrid very alert to Nico Paz's injury for the future

Nico Paz's injury has set off alarms at Real Madrid because of what it could mean. Everything points to him being away from the field, and the concern is immense. It could halt the good progress he was making in Italy.

He was standing out in Serie A to the point that Real Madrid was reconsidering transfer him. They still hold 50 percent of his rights and signed a buy-back clause. So that operation was on the table for next summer.

However, this injury could mean a change of plans, thinking about his recovery and getting back in shape. Although teams like Juventus, Inter, or Arsenal are also keeping a close watch on him. A decision will have to be made without much delay despite this setback.
