José Mourinho faces a problem in Real Madrid's midfield for the game against Inter Milan in the first round of the Champions League. The Madrid coach has only one natural defensive midfielder available for that position.
Injuries and absences have affected the Madrid side's midfield sector, leaving Mourinho with limited options when forming the starting midfield for the European clash.
This scarcity of options comes at a delicate moment in the season, when the team needs to be prepared for a competition as demanding as the Champions League, where every detail can make the difference.
The clash with Inter Milan marks the beginning of Real Madrid's European campaign, and Mourinho will have to find creative solutions to make up for the lack of available defensive midfielders in his squad of players.
