Real Madrid's injury woes continued at the weekend as Xabi Alonso, Ezequiel Garay and Pepe all finished the game at Sporting de Gijon nursing knocks.
Coach Manuel Pellegrini was already without several star players ahead of the game and will now be sweating ahead of the local derby next weekend against Getafe as well as over selection dilemmas for the Copa del Rey clash on Tuesday against Alcorcon.
Garay had not played since September 20 and explained after being substituted on the hour mark after feeling pain in his calf that lack of match practice was to blame.
Alonso limped out of the action in El Molinon with 15 minutes remaining after asking to go off having pulled a muscle in his left leg, but trained on Sunday and the problem appears not to be serious.
Pepe was the third player to complain that he had a problem as he ended the match nursing his right ankle meaning that all three wil be monitored by club medics throughout the week.
Madrid already have Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuain, Karim Benzema and Ruud van Nistelrooy on the road to recovery, while Lassana Diarra has yet to indicate when he will return from France.
