Zidane offered a list of 19 names to receive Valencia in Valdebebas, including 15 healthy from the first team and four from Castilla to complete the call. This week he has recovered Carvajal and Lucas, but the white infirmary is still busy: there are seven injured. This is how they evolve.
Odriozola
He withdrew from the game in Huesca at 67 minutes, supposedly with pain in one of the twins; hours later it turned out that he suffered hamstring discomfort of the right leg, although unofficially (the club has not issued a medical report). Since then, he has not left the gym; not expected for at least two more weeks.
Bouquets
The most notorious absence, also surprising for the unforeseen: the club reported on the morning of February 6 (hours before taking on Huesca), after Cope overtook it, that he had been operated on for a problem in the internal meniscus of the left knee that dragged for a long time. A consensual decision between club and player, with the negotiation for his fund renewal, which will take him out for between four and six weeks: He is expected to return between March 6 and 20, trusting that he can shorten the deadlines.
Militao
He is beaten: he was sent off after 9 minutes against Levante, served his sanction against Huesca and immediately fell injured, with discomfort in one of his adductors. There has been no medical report, but he has not left the gym for a week. Like Odriozola, the Brazilian is expected to be out for two weeks.
Marcelo
Bad luck for the Brazilian, who after playing his best game of the season against Getafe, was touched. The tests revealed a muscle injury to the left soleus, three weeks out. It is expected that he can be for the derby against Atleti on March 7.
Valverde
A rare case, he was diagnosed with a tear in the adductor longus of his right leg and there was talk of a 10 to 14 day loss; That was January 22, 23 days ago. He has gone out to run in some sessions, but still without working with the group, not partially. Its possible discharge is a mystery.
Hazard
When it seemed that he was waking up, a new injury, the tenth since he is in Madrid, cut him off. He has suffered a muscle tear in the left anterior rectus since February 3. The club then spoke for four weeks, although Zidane lowered it to “two or three”; He has been running on the pitch for three days, he is expected to reach the derby.
Rodrygo
He will be the last to join, he has been absent since December 23, 2020, when he made a tear in the right biceps femoris with tendon involvement. Three months off, although he has already been seen jogging on the grass and could shorten the deadlines. In principle, he is expected in early April and he will have to get back into shape.
