Real Madrid faces injury crisis with Jantunen and Maledon

Real Madrid basketball has confirmed significant injuries to two key players, Mikael Jantunen and Théo Maledon. Finnish power forward Mikael Jantunen has been diagnosed with a complete rupture of the plantar fascia in his left foot, an injury sustained during a EuroLeague match against Fenerbahce. The club has not yet specified the recovery timeline, though it could potentially sideline him for several months.

Additionally, French guard Théo Maledon has suffered a sprain in his right knee. While some reports suggest his absence may last approximately one month, his status remains under medical evaluation. These injuries add to the team's existing roster challenges, as players Gabriel Deck and Usman Garuba are also facing long-term absences due to shoulder and Achilles injuries, respectively.
