Real Madrid have been handed an injury setback ahead of their La Liga fixture against Getafe on Sunday, as midfielder Dani Ceballos has been ruled out due to a muscle overload. According to Spanish outlet COPE, the 28-year-old will not be fit to feature for Xabi Alonso’s side this weekend.
Ceballos, who has endured an injury-plagued spell over the past few seasons, was looking to regain rhythm and secure regular minutes under Alonso. However, this latest setback will see him sidelined again as the club’s medical staff prioritize his recovery to prevent a recurrence. The severity of the overload has not been disclosed, but early reports suggest that Real Madrid will not rush his return.
The Spanish midfielder’s absence limits Real Madrid’s midfield options, particularly as the team continues to manage the workload of other players amid a congested fixture schedule. With Ceballos out, Alonso could turn to Eduardo Camavinga or Luka Modrić to fill the void, depending on tactical requirements against Getafe.
