Real Madrid are dealing with a series of injuries in these early parts of the campaign, with stars such as Eder Militao, Vinicius Junior, and Arda Guler currently being sidelined.

The absence of Militao, in particular, has impacted the ranks in the defensive unit, especially with Real Madrid not signing a central defender during the summer transfer window.

Jacobo Ramon training with the first team

With that in mind, journalist Rodra P has issued an important update, suggesting that youngster Jacobo Ramon is training with the Real Madrid first team.

A centre-back by trade, Ramon currently plies his trade with Real Madrid’s Juvenil A setup. He has shown immense potential in recent years and is already regarded highly at the age of just 18.

In fact, Rodra suggests Ramon has the highest ceiling among young defenders in the Real Madrid youth setup, which is quite a feat.

Therefore, the teenage sensation is training with the first team and has been pictured alongside veteran central defender Nacho Fernandez.

Ramon joins the long list of Real Madrid youth team starlets, who have trained with the first team throughout the summer.

The likes of Nico Paz, Marvel, and Gonzalo Garcia have all trained under Carlo Ancelotti’s orders and now Ramon has also joined the list.

It is a clear indication that Real Madrid are prepared to put faith in young talents, ahead of a crucial transitionary period.

While it remains to be seen whether or not Ramon can make an impact on the senior side, he is certainly considered an exciting option for coach Ancelotti.

With Militao for the majority of the season, the youngster has the scope to make a few senior appearances throughout the course of the campaign, although Marvel could be ahead of him in the preference order.

But the 18-year-old must make the most of his chances to train with the senior players and use it as a learning opportunity.
