Sergio Ramos is back. He has trained normally this Thursday and the idea is that he will have minutes on Saturday against Osasuna to test himself for Tuesday's match against Chelsea. An appointment for which he is pressing to be and in which it can be very important after knowing the certain absence of Carvajal, who will miss the remainder of the season.
The captain suffered a muscle injury in the last call to which he attended with the Spanish National Team, when he began to pick up pace after the intervention on his knee at the beginning of the year. With his return, Zidane must decide how to rebuild the defense because he already has the four centrals available and Nacho and Militao have offered an outstanding performance during the absences of Ramos and Varane.

It remains to be seen if the coach opts for a defense of three centrals to take advantage of the good moment of all, if he returns to his usual partner (Ramos-Varane) or if he definitively gives the ownership to Militao in defense of four. Nacho, for his part, will usually act as a right-back during this final stretch of the season, because Zizou has already shown that he does not have Odriozola on the important days.
As for the rest of the injured, the news is not good for Real Madrid. Mendy is still on the sidelines, he has had a smooth career and it is very difficult to be against Chelsea on Tuesday (against Osasuna he is ruled out). Valverde, for his part, continues with mild symptoms of coronavirus and is waiting for the negative. It could be Saturday and be available on Tuesday to play the second leg of the Champions semi-finals, although it would arrive without rhythm.
Who has not trained this Thursday is Nacho, who has discomfort from a blow he suffered in Tuesday's meeting. The youth squad does not suffer any injury, he stopped as a precaution and this Friday he hopes to be back with the rest of his teammates.
