World Sports Daily: Cucurella Suffered Muscle Cramps Against Betis, Doubtful for Champions League Match Against Inter

According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Cucurella suffered muscle cramps in the final stages of the match against Real Betis and was forced to leave the pitch, leaving his participation in next Tuesday's Champions League match against Inter Milan in doubt.

The report states that Cucurella's injury does not appear serious at the moment, but his chances of playing against Inter Milan remain low. Real Madrid will not resume training until next Sunday, making the Spanish full-back a potential absentee.

Cucurella started the match and was initially considered a more favored option than Alvaro Carreras in the lineup selection. He was later forced off due to muscle pain caused by cramps. This match was also the team's first defeat of the season.

Cucurella's injury comes as Real Madrid already face an increasingly long injury list, including Tchouameni, Militao, Rodrygo, Mendy, and Endrick. In addition, Guler, Bernardo Silva, and Camavinga will miss the match through suspension.

The Real Madrid coaching staff will wait for Cucurella's final condition in the coming days. After the defeat to Real Betis, the importance of the match against Inter Milan has increased further, and this Champions League opener will also serve as an early test of whether the team can overcome difficulties.
