Vinicius tests negative and waits for LaLiga’s OK to train

Vinicius has tested negative in the new COVID test that the club has subjected him to and hopes that the result of that test will be endorsed by LaLiga and this gives him the go-ahead to rejoin training with the rest of the team. That decision also depends on whether Ancelotti can summon the player for Wednesday’s Cup match against Alcoyano (9:30 pm, Telecinco and DAZN).

The Brazilian tested positive last Wednesday 29, in the tests that all the players underwent before returning to training and in which Courtois, Valverde and Camavinga, who are already with the rest, also tested positive. With the negative of Vinicius, the only active case of COVID that keeps the white wardrobe is that of Jovic.

With a calendar that does not give respite, the whites returned to training on the same Monday morning to begin preparing for their debut in the KO tournament. Carvajal and Bale remain outside the group. The winger worked out alone on the pitch, while the Welshman worked out in the gym. It is expected that the defender can be available next week for the Super Cup, in which Madrid will face Barcelona in the semifinals (Wednesday 12, 20:00), and that the British can be back for the league clash on Saturday ( 21:00, Movistar LaLiga) against Valencia.

The team will train again tomorrow, Tuesday at 11:00 in Valdebebas, in the last session before the knockout round of the Copa del Rey against Alcoyano.
