SCARY: A look Real Madrid's squad depth in attack without injured Vinicius
Real Madrid's attack is in shambles without injured Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian has been the team's main threat in attack since Karim Benzema left for the Saudi Professional League, and his absence will be a major blow against Getafe.
Carlo Ancelotti's men will be facing the Madrid-based side on Saturday with just Rodrygo, Joselu (33 years old), and Brahim Diaz as their attacking options. Getafe is known for their defensive and aggressive style of play, and they will be looking to exploit Real Madrid's lack of depth in attack.
It is unknown if Real Madrid will turn to the transfer market to address their attacking woes. Ancelotti has said that the club's transfer window is closed, but he may be forced to change his mind if the team struggles without Vinicius in their next game.
In the meantime, Ancelotti will need to get creative with his lineup. He could use Rodrygo as a false nine, or he could deploy Brahim Diaz as a winger. He could also give Joselu a start, although the 33-year-old is not known for his pace or dribbling ability.
Whatever Ancelotti decides to do, it is clear that Real Madrid's attack will be a lot less potent without Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian is one of the most exciting young players in the world, and his absence will be a major blow to the team's hopes of winning the La Liga title
