Conte: "I don& #39;t think Real Madrid can cry about injuries, it makes me laugh."

For CDM, Kroos can easily cover for Case and Fede, he can be paired with Modric, and Odegaard. Though Casemiro is available. Isco is also there if you want a diamond formation where Rodrygo and Mariano can play as the two strikers.
In attack, we only miss Jovic and Benzema who, as I asserted before, can be easily replaced by Mariano and Rodrygo. The 4-3-3 pairing can be formed with Hazard, Vini, and Asensio. Vázquez is always there as usual to come on in as a sub.
Like I said in the previous post, it& #39;s just the CB pairing we need to worry about and that& #39;s it. Again, only Ramos is the irreplaceable one. Only his absence will be the one that may haunt us.
We don& #39;t have a structure and depend a lot on individual brilliance, Ramos is the leader in defence that saved us many a times. A structure isn& #39;t what you can implement in half a week, so for sure we will miss him and may have to pay a heavy price for his absence as well.
Rest, we have the whole squad to manage with. All other positions have good enough depth to deal with at the moment.
Caravjal, Hazard, Vini, Rodrygo, Asensio, Isco, Mariano, Modric, Kroos, Varane, Mendy, Nacho, Casemiro, Marcelo, Courtois....and Zidane& #39;s favourite Lucas Vázquez. These players have been here for a while, they& #39;ve been together and have a decent level of understanding.
Mariano is probably the one whose runs may be ignored but as he& #39;s proven before, he doesn& #39;t need to many chances to convert.
It& #39;s not a crisis as yet.

The players we have available are good enough to cope up or to at least pull a decent performance, provided the coach has some plan and instructions for each player about what to do in every situation/phase of the game.
