Aramburu injury leaves Real without a right-back before Dépor visit

Aramburu has been injured, leaving Real without a right-back before Dépor’s visit on Sunday. The Venezuela international is to undergo tests to determine the extent of the problem. He joins Héctor Fort and Álvaro Odriozola on the list of unavailable players.

The situation complicates Real’s options in that position. Iñaki Ruperez, a Sanse player who could fill the role, is over 23; if he played in Primera, he would not then be able to play again in Segunda. Jon Garro, meanwhile, does not appear to be part of the club staff’s plans for promotion to Real.

Real will therefore need to find an urgent solution for Sunday and the matches that follow. The club has five games to play in just 15 days. An absence of several weeks for Aramburu is feared, while Héctor Fort has yet to recover from his discomfort. The length of Aramburu’s absence will depend on the upcoming tests.
