Isco starts with bad foot preparing for the next season. The man from Malaga suffered a sprained ankle and you will miss at least a week of training sessions, so the friendly against Rayo Vallecano this Wednesday in Valdebebas is lost and his participation in the league debut against Real Sociedad (on the 20th) will depend on how he evolves the joint.
The absence of Isco, who this Tuesday already missed the morning session organized by Zidane, joins the Asensio's scheduled discharge, who is still being pampered in the gym. The Spaniard last Tuesday overcame an MRI of his left knee in which he verified that there was no damage beyond the edema he suffered in the National Team. The well-being of the Mallorcan's knee is a priority for the club and the intention is to get it ready without risk for that first day of the League.
Despite everything, Zizou still has plenty of troops for training against Rayo because he also has seven academy players from Castilla and the Juvenil at his command, that they are going to have a chance against the redhead to give a rest to the internationals who have had two days of extra rest for the commitments with their respective teams. In fact, Ramos, Bale, Jovic and Kroos will not rejoin until this Wednesday.
