Fede Valverde, injured, will be out for at least a month

More bad news for Real Madrid. The defeat against Valencia on Sunday (4-1) is now joined by the injury of one of the mainstays of his midfield: Fede Valverde. The Uruguayan suffers a fissure in the posterior tibial spine of his right leg, which will keep him off the pitch for at least a month. A traumatic injury that will require complete rest and a lot of caution in recoveryIt is important that the bone has welded perfectly before subjecting the area to pressure and impacts again.

In fact, depending on the depth of the fissure, the decline could extend up to a month and a half or two months. Fede Valverde had to leave the match at Mestalla in the 76th minute, being replaced by Toni Kroos. Minutes before, at 65 ', he had suffered a collision that caused breathing difficulties, but he recovered without problems.

The derby, very difficult

If the withdrawal period is one month, Valverde will miss the matches against Villarreal, Inter, Alavés, Shakhtar, Sevilla and Borussia Mönchengladbach. And he is in serious risk of not playing against Atlético (December 12 or 13). If the loss extends to two months, it would not be in the demanding end of the year for Madrid, against Athletic, Eibar, Granada and Elche, in addition to the first matches of January against Celta and Osasuna. It will depend on how bad the fissure is and how quickly your body repairs it.

Bad news for Madrid, which without Valverde he loses one of his most fit footballers at the moment. The Uruguayan had been indisputable in Zinedine Zidane's eleven and his contribution exceeded his circulation and deployment tasks in the midfield: He is also the team's second best scorer, along with Vinicius and Ramos, all three with three goals, only surpassed by Benzema's six.

Hazard's fissure

A situation like this experienced by Madrid last year with Hazard, who suffered a fissure in the right distal fibula that kept him out for two and a half months; Then, in addition, he relapsed and had to go through the operating room to fix the problem, although in his case a poorly fixed titanium plate extended the problem more than expected. In Valverde's case, Madrid expects a full recovery in the shortest possible time. But always with caution to avoid greater evils.
