Casemiro is back
Casemiro has missed two games since his positive in the previous match against Valencia was known and he was forced to keep the isolation that the protocol and the health authorities mark. In addition to missing the match at the Mestalla, he could not attend the concentration of his selection. The virus played a trick on Casemiro. After completing the minimum ten days of quarantine, he tested negative and last Wednesday he returned to work in Valdebebas. However, an undetermined result in the test round that the squad passed before the match against Villarreal also left them out of the match against the team. groguet.
In the two stages of Zinedine Zidane on the Real Madrid bench Casemiro has always been a fundamental piece in the Frenchman's team. His absences from the eleven by technical decision are minimal, although the tight schedule this season caused the coach to dose him. Apart from the two games that he has lost due to COVID-19, he was not a starter either in the league debut against Real Sociedad or in the game against Cádiz.
The results show its relevance in the team. Madrid have not won any of the four games in which they did not start this season. The other short break that Zidane has given him this season due to a technical decision was against Huesca, when, with 3-0 on the scoreboard (4-1 final), the coach replaced him with 21 minutes remaining, thinking about the first game against Inter. In Champions he has played everything and in the total count of the season, despite the two games that the coronavirus has kept him away, he is the sixth white player with the most minutes: 765 '. He has also released his scoring locker with the goal in extremis that rescued a valuable point for Madrid in Mönchengladbach.
