Among the accumulation of losses in defense, a hope for Zidane. Dani Carvajal started the last training session prior to the League match against Getafe, participating with the group in the opening rounds of the session. The winger, injured two months ago in his right thigh, had been working individually for two weeks. At noon, either at Zidane's press conference or later when the call is known, the question of whether he can be at the Coliseum will be cleared up.
It should be remembered that Zidane faces the game against the azulones with the defense in the box. Lucas Vázquez, who has emerged as Carvajal's first replacement, is also injured. Valverde was the starter in that demarcation at Anfield (Odriozola came out in the final stretch of the match), but Casemiro's withdrawal, sanctioned for his expulsion in the Classic, will presumably return the Uruguayan to midfield.

In the axis of the rear, to the casualties of Varane and Ramos, positive for coronavirus, is added that of Nacho, who is serving a sanction for the yellow cycle. The youth squad, like Casemiro, did not participate in the session. Militao is the only center-back with a record from the first team that Zidane has, who was trained by Víctor Chust (He already formed a central pair with the Brazilian in the Cup against Alcoyano) and the youth Alcázar and Víctor. Zidane, who appears at a press conference around 1:00 p.m., had 21 players in training.
