#3 Injury hit squad
They have been unlucky when it comes to the squad availability. It is no secret that Real Madrid rely a lot on their fullbacks in attack as well. Their full-backs almost play as wingers most of the time. Both the starting fullbacks have suffered injuries early in the season.
One of Lopetegui's favourite players, Isco has been out for almost a month now. But the most obvious absence has been that of Gareth Bale who has again been in and out due to fitness issues.
