Real Madrid's defensive formation in Eder Militao's absence
Apart from Eder Militao, Real Madrid have several other injury absentees in their defense. David Alaba and Dani Carvajal are also missing through injuries. As a result, Carlo Ancelotti has been forced to experiment with his options. He has named a four-man defense for the Leganes clash. Antonio Rudiger will partner with young Raul Asencio at the heart with Valverde and Fran Garcia playing in the right and left flanks, respectively.
Young Asencio impressed in his debut against Osasuna, replacing Militao following the Brazilian's injury. Valverde, meanwhile, has shown his ability to be a utility player throughout his career. Another stern challenge awaits the Uruguayan as he looks to adapt in a completely new position on the pitch.
