This has been a very difficult year for Jesus Vallejo, who has suffered injury after injury in 2018 and who only played 10 matches for the capital city club for a total of 825 minutes.
He has had minutes in the Champions League in the dead rubber against CSKA Moscow and in the Copa del Rey tie against Melilla this season, but hasn't featured in LaLiga Santander in 2018/19.
Although he was in the squad and on the bench in the two matches before Los Blancos jetted off for the Club World Cup, he hasn't gotten in the pitch in a league game since the 3-2 loss at Sevilla in May.
It really has been a tough year for the 21-year-old, who has found the competition for centre-back playing time really tough even when he has been fit.
The good news for Vallejo is that he has the chance to start 2019 with renewed purpose, as Real Madrid have five league matches and their two-legged Copa del Rey tie against Leganes in January.
With so many matches coming up in a short space of time, there should be rotations and he could get some more playing time.

Ceballos > Kovacic is common knowledge now. The talent of Fede is finally getting recognition. My propaganda is tasting success finally, now it's time for Ø & Jesus Vallejo to step up.
u can't compare kovacic & ceballos because kovacic is pure CM, like kroos but ceballos is like isco, he can play in CM, CAM, both are good dribblers but kovacic slightly ahead of ceballos because of his vision & passing

Boy you are forever injured. We need that space for a player who’s reliable and ready to go at all times when Ramos and Varane are out.

Reckon we need to sign a CB next summer (Pavard, de Ligt) and replace Vallejo. He ought to go on loan or sale with purchase option for his own development.

Mainly due to injuries, Jesus Vallejo has still only played 12 matches (1004mins) in the past 14 months for his club and just four more for the Under-21s. No starts under Lopetegui so far.

Even Jesus Vallejo has more Champions league titles than the great Lovren.

He's the biggest reason we won't get De Ligt

Ladies, if he: - never works - only hangs with his rich friends - prevents newcomers because of ‘potential’ - is easily forgettable - gets injured while injured - looks as if his ears are about to take him for a ride to the sky He’s not your man. He’s Jesus Vallejo.

Jesus Vallejo will not leave the club in January despite a lack of playing time for the Real Madrid defender, his agent Jeronimo Suarez has confirmed after making just two appearances.
