Real Madrid's Konaté faces injury ahead of Roma clash
Summary

Real Madrid defender Ibrahima Konaté is uncertain for the Champions League match against Roma on October 14th following a torn collateral ligament in his right leg. He underwent tests that confirmed the injury, and his recovery timeline is still to be determined. This injury adds to coach José Mourinho's challenges as he prepares for the highly anticipated match at the Olimpico. If Konaté is unavailable, Federico Valverde's status is also in question, though Eduardo Camavinga may step in for the Uruguayan. Antonio Rudiger could also see increased playing time in defense if needed.
