Bad news accumulates for Zinedine Zidane at the gates of two of the most tricky games that the Real
Madrid in the remainder of the season. Yesterday afternoon the white club confirmed that Sergio Ramos suffered “a muscle injury to the biceps femoris of his right leg” during the Spain-Germanyto the Nations League and the diagnostic has triggered the alarms in Valdebebas, in suspense also because the rest of the internationals return safe and sound from the concentrations with their respective teams.
The estimated time of discharge of the captain, about 15 days, sets aside Sergio Ramos of the white team for the decisive confrontations against the Villarreal in The league (tomorrow Saturday, 4.15 pm) and against Inter of
Milan in the Champions (Wednesday 25, 9:00 p.m.). In case the lack of Ramos did not torment enough Zidane, the white coach has between cottons or with hardly any training on his legs a good part of his rearguard in addition to the well-known loss of Valverde.
Alone Marcelo Y Mendy, the two left backs of the squad, are in full condition to face what is coming. Odriozola keep working on the sidelines, Carvajal Y Nacho will arrive very little rolled to The ceramic after overcoming his injuries and Varane It is a doubt for the league commitment after suffering a mishap in the shoulder during the France-Sweden. The French center-back will test himself in today's training to see if he will be fit for the clash against the team of Unai emery. The third center-back in the fray, Eder Militao, has returned to the team dynamics after remaining apart for having tested positive for coronavirus.
Without Ramos, the drama
The absence of Sergio Ramos in San Siro is particularly worrisome, since Madrid's precedents without the '4' in the top competition do not exactly invite optimism. Of the last eight Madrid duels in the Champions without Bouquets, the whites have been defeated in seven. The last example took place before the Shakhtar Donetsk at the premiere of the group stage. With the captain absent due to a blow to the knee, the Madrid was surprised by a Shaktar decimated by covid 2-3) in a disastrous first part.
The match against him Inter at San Siro (Wednesday 25, 9:00 p.m.) acquires without Bouquets a dramatic look for Real Madrid, forced to score at least one point if they don't want to fall behind the group. Opposite will also be one of the fittest and most dangerous attacking pairs in the entire continent, the one that forms Lautaro
Martinez Y Romelu lukaku. The Argentine brought Ramos headfirst in the Madrid-Inter, where the Belgian did not play due to injury.
On the other hand, the good news for Zidane, in addition to the return of several internationals such as Modric, Asensio or Kroos, was the return to the dynamics of the team Eden Hazard Y Eder Militao after having tested negative for coronavirus and Benzema points to La Cerámica after overcoming the muscular overload suffered in Mestalla.
