“Hazard will start against Cádiz; Modric …”

In the preview of the duel against him Cádiz, the mister of the Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, gave voice to the locker room after the complicated week that the club has lived with the infections by coronavirus. “It is true that we have had setbacks but those who have tested positive are fine and the rest are ready to play tomorrow’s game,” the Merengue coach began assuring.

Opinion on the draw for the eighth of the Champions League

“The draw was unfortunate. But we will think about the tie when it comes because it will be a very exciting match.”

Hazard situation

“Hazard starts tomorrow. He wants to be motivated and he will play because he has trained well and deserves it. Hazard is always well. The problem is that he has not always been able to train 100% and I think tomorrow he will play a good game.”

Benzema situation

“Benzema has trained individually these days but today he has done it with the rest and he has done well so that tomorrow he will play safely.”

Modric, confined

“Modric has tested negative but remains confined. He is tired and has had a fever so he will not be there tomorrow. Then we have to assess what the regulations say.”

Barcelona direct rival?

“Now Barcelona is not a direct rival because we are closer to Sevilla, Atlético or Betis, but if I were Barcelona’s coach I would say that we cannot be ruled out for LaLiga either.”
