MADRID, 4 Apr. (SportsFinding) –
The strikers Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic, and the midfielder Francisco Alarcón ‘Isco’ are the three absences in the call announced this Monday by Real Madrid for the match they will play this Wednesday (9:00 p.m.) against Chelsea, corresponding to the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, according to the club.
The entry of Fuidas for Diego as third goalkeeper is the only change in a list that is practically identical to the one drawn up by Carlo Ancelotti for the match against Celta, which ended with a white victory (1-2). In addition, Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy repeat, who returned after injury in Balaídos and will travel to London with the rest of the team.
But the white club is still pending the Italian coach, who tested positive for COVID-19 last Wednesday, and his presence at Stamford Bridge is still up in the air, after not being able to be on the Balaídos bench on Saturday.
Thus, the call is completed by: Courtois, Lunin and Fuidias; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Vallejo, Nacho, Marcelo and Mendy; Kroos, Modric, Casemiro, Valverde, Lucas Vázquez, Ceballos and Camavinga; Benzema, Asensio, Bale, Vinicius, Rodrygo and Mariano.
