Between the national team stoppage and various contingencies Zidane has stayed with the family with the few players he has available to set up training in Valdebebas. This Thursday he could only have at his disposal four troops: Marcelo, Isco and Mariano, in addition to Altube, the third goalkeeper of the first team, but who has a subsidiary file.
Carvajal, Nacho, Odriozola, Mendy, Benzema and Lucas Vázquez worked inside the facilities. Six players in the gym joined by the Low Valverde and the home isolations of Militao, Casemiro and Hazard after testing positive for coronavirus. Eleven internationals are with their selections: Ramos and Asensio (Spain), Courtois (Belgium), Lunin (Ukraine), Varane (France), Kroos (Germany), Modric (Croatia), Odegaard (Norway), Jovic (Serbia), Vinicius (Brazil) and Rodrygo (Olympic Brazil).
Of those who worked in the gym, Carvajal and Nacho returned to him after in recent days they started doing some exercises on the grass. In Mendy's case, the player has muscular discomforts that, according to L'Équipe, they made Madrid request that he not attend the call with France. Benzema suffered an overload in the Mestalla game and with Lucas Vázquez the coaching staff took advantage of the break to design an individualized work plan. Odriozola, for his part, continues to recover from his left calf injury.
Those available are scheduled for a new work session tomorrow, Friday at 11:00 am.
