Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that young player Cesar Palacios suffered a serious injury during the club’s 1-0 friendly loss to Milan.
The 19-year-old played the first half of the match and was substituted at halftime for Real Madrid captain Luka Modric due to his injury.
According to the Italian coach, Palacios’ injury is to his knee and appears serious. He will undergo further medical examinations to determine the extent of the injury and the length of his absence from the field.
This was Palacios’ first appearance for Real Madrid’s first team, making the injury a major disappointment for both him and Ancelotti.
The match against Milan saw the participation of several young players such as Juan Martinez, Asensio, Jeremy De Leon, and Alvaro Rodriguez.
The friendly tour of the United States is a good opportunity for young players to showcase their abilities, especially with the absence of many of the team’s key players for rest.
