Nacho Fernández (30 years old) is injured. This has been reported by Real Madrid in the following statement, published on its website: “After the tests carried out on our player Nacho Fernández by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he was diagnosed with muscle injury in the right anterior rectum. Pending evolution “.
This setback means the absence of the youth squad for the return of football, this week. Nacho will therefore miss Real Madrid-Eibar this Sunday (7:30 p.m.) at Alfredo di Stéfano. Also the matches against Valencia, Real Sociedad, Mallorca and Espanyol (June 28), moment from which it will start to pick up pace and will be included in the calls in the hands of Zidane. It will be, along with Jovic, who will rush to reach the end of the League, the only loss for physical reasons for Zidane.
Although Real Madrid, as usual, has not specified the period in which Nacho will not be available, Medical sources explain to AS that it will be around three weeks; the mishap is in a treacherous muscle: he will be able to make a continuous run, but he will have many difficulties in the first few bars of his recovery to hit the ball.
This setback I shouldn't upset Zidane's plans too much, since Nacho had been counting little this season. Stopped by the coronavirus, he left with only 641 minutes, the 22nd of the squad, penalized for a knee injury in October and the arrival of Militao, who relegated him to Zizou's third central defender.
