The Italian coach must find solutions for the absence of Dani Carvajal, who will miss almost the entire season. In the squad, Lucas Vazquez is the only alternative, and he is primarily a winger who has adapted by returning to his position.
He has shown that he can perform very well, but Ancelotti needs another player who can replace Carvajal because he does not fully trust Vazquez, especially since the season is still long.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Marca, Ancelotti is considering using an interesting internal solution, which is to move Eder Militao to the right side of the defense, as the 26-year-old player has experience playing as a right-back for Brazil.
This is an option being considered by Carlo Ancelotti, and if implemented, it would mean using Aurelien Tchouameni in defense more often until David Alaba returns from his cruciate ligament injury.
The newspaper concluded that Carvajal is living through one of the most difficult periods of his sporting career, as football has proven to be unfair at times.
At the peak of his career as a professional player, he suffered a painful setback, and it is expected that his recovery from his injury will take between 8 to 10 months before he can return to the team again.
