According to Spanish newspaper AS, Real Madrid is facing a midfield shortage, and manager Carlo Ancelotti may need to adjust the formation, deploying players out of position in midfield to handle the Champions League match against Inter Milan.

AS reports that Real Madrid will be without Aurélien Tchouaméni due to injury, while several midfielders face suspension. Ancelotti currently has only Valverde as a fully available midfielder, which may force him to alter his tactical system or deploy players in unfamiliar positions.

Bellingham is one alternative option, but Ancelotti prefers him playing as an attacking midfielder closer to the penalty area, where his goal-scoring ability can be best utilized. Bellingham could also return to midfield, with Brahim Díaz playing as an attacking midfielder, allowing Real Madrid to maintain a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Alexander-Arnold is another option. Ancelotti has previously allowed him to play in a free attacking role, so he could also shift to a 4-3-3 formation, with Alexander-Arnold, Valverde, and Bellingham forming the midfield line. In this scenario, Alexander-Arnold would play on the right of midfield, Bellingham on the left, and Valverde in the center.

AS also notes that Huijsen is a bolder option, as he possesses excellent ball control. Jorge Cestero from Real Madrid's academy is another alternative, particularly with the long-term injury to Pitarch and Manuel Ángel's departure to Fulham.

Ancelotti is well familiar with Huijsen's characteristics. When the player was at Juventus, Ancelotti previously requested to loan him to Roma. Huijsen began his early career as a forward before transitioning to center-back.

If Huijsen plays in midfield, Real Madrid could improve in ball control and attacking organization, though the team's ability to build attacks from the back may be affected, especially if relying on Rüdiger and Konaté as center-backs.
