Good news at Real Madrid. The team's anchor, Casemiro, already did a small part of Wednesday morning's training with the rest of his teammates after the last two coronavirus tests carried out were negative, as established in the LaLiga protocol. Therefore, the Brazilian, who had tested positive in the previous match against Valencia, is now available for Zidane. The player has been exercising with great vigilance, but without problems, since he was asymptomatic, since he tested positive, so he is in perfect condition to play against Villarreal.
Real Madrid will practice new tests on Wednesday morning for the other two affected by COVID, Hazard and Militao. Hazard tested positive the same day as Casemiro and Militao a few days earlier. Zidane hopes that the three can already be against Villarreal. In the case of Militao, it would greatly alleviate the problems on defense, as Nacho is still out of injury (although he already seems to train normally) and Varane and Ramos are awaiting the tests after their respective setbacks with their national teams.
Madrid suffers a constant trickle of injuries at the start of the season. In addition to the players already mentioned, Odriozola and Carvajal (both on the right side) are coming off their injuries. And Valverde has a month for a fissure in the tibia at the knee. In a period of 20 days, Madrid has important departures to Villarreal, Sevilla, Inter and Schakthar.
