A Madrid decimated by the covid wants to extend its streak against Cádiz

A Real Madrid very decimated by the covid outbreak that hit the white squad this week receives the Cádiz at Santiago Bernabeu (9:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga) with the need to add the three points that strengthen their leadership. The triumph will serve to keep the Sevilla, which yesterday dismounted even more to Athletic of the title fight (2-1) waiting to receive the Barcelona Tuesday in the Pizjuán.

The set of Carlo Ancelotti drags the casualties due to coronavirus Gareth Bale, Marco Asensio, Rodrygo Goes, Marcelo and Lunin. They will not be Luka Modric, who is still confined to his home despite having tested negative in the latest tests, Isco, with a sore throat, and Dani carvajal, which drags muscular problems after finishing the Madrid derby.

The good news for whites is that Karim Benzema is recovered from his hamstring problems and that Ancelotti recovers for the cause a Dani ceballos, who returned to a call after recovering from the serious ankle injury suffered in the Olympic Games. The stonemason Peter Federico It is the other great novelty of the list and it could debut due to the lack of troops in attack, with only four healthy forwards.

The Real Madrid He does not want excuses or regrets despite having lived through the most turbulent week of the season and aspires to maintain his great form and results by chaining his eleventh consecutive victory. The white team wants to prolong the good feelings shown in recent weeks, something that seems more complicated than in previous games because it will miss several key pieces.

Faced with these adverse circumstances, Carlo Ancelotti, little friend of doing rotations, he has no choice but to improvise several emergency solutions to complete a starting eleven to which he will return Eden Hazard, as confirmed by the Italian coach at a press conference. The Belgian has before him a new opportunity, who knows if one of the last, to get on the bandwagon of those of Ancelotti.

In defence Lucas Vazquez has many numbers to supply Carvajal on the right side while on the rear axis they could rest Militao or Alaba. The hole it leaves Modric in the engine room will be for Valverde The camavinga, two footballers who have lost prominence to the same extent that the trident has settled (again) in the core.

Cádiz, third to last, lands in the Bernabeu with severe qualifying urgencies and with the need to repeat the grind of last year, when Di Stéfano attacked (0-1). Cervera will not be able to count on the sanctioned Salvi or the injured Iza, Jose Mari, Jon Ander and Arzamendia
