Mourinho's Real Madrid triumph in the medical room: fewer cases and near full strength

Real Madrid has significantly reduced injury problems under Mourinho, with only Mendy, Asencio and Rodrygo sidelined from previous season issues; the club expects a full squad by year-end.

Real Madrid has experienced a marked improvement in injury management since José Mourinho's arrival, with far fewer players unavailable due to fitness issues compared to previous seasons. Currently, only three players remain sidelined: Ferland Mendy (injured since April), Raúl Asencio, and Rodrygo (knee injury expected to keep him out until after Christmas).

The club's medical staff, led by fitness coaches Antonio Pintus and Antonio Dias alongside Sports Science chief Sandro Carriço, has implemented a preventative approach that has kept the squad healthier throughout the campaign. The expectation is that the medical room will be completely clear before the end of the year, allowing Mourinho to have his full squad available for the decisive moments of the season.
