Ibrahima Konate has barely arrived at Real Madrid, but circumstances could already hand him one of the biggest opportunities available to a new signing: a place in the starting XI for the opening La Liga match against Espanyol.
According to AS, injuries to Eder Militao and Raul Asencio have left Jose Mourinho with limited options at the heart of the defence.
Konate's arrival, therefore, comes at a particularly useful moment for the club.
The Frenchman completed his first training session with his new teammates on Monday and arrived in excellent physical condition.
That immediately puts him in contention for the trip to Espanyol, especially with further uncertainty surrounding Dean Huijsen.
