Real Madrid are facing a defensive crisis with Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos and Dani Carvajal all ruled out through a variety of reasons.
It is likely that Nacho Fernandez will partner Eder Militao in the heart of the defence for the Spanish champions but the club have now promoted a Castilla star back into their first-team squad to bolster the defensive numbers, as per Marca.
Victor Chust made his first-team debut in the Copa del Rey loss at Alcoyano earlier this year and he featured as a late substitute in the victory over Getafe in La Liga.
20-year-old Chust has been at the club since he was aged 8 – after starting his youth career at Valencia – and he is described by Real Madrid’s official website as being “strong, powerful and aggressive” whilst also being comfortable playing the ball out of defence with his right foot.
