Zidane has said enough. If Saturday was concern about the continuous injuries that are devastating the squad, now it is a full-blown anger. The last straw for Zizou's patience was the injury to Carvajal against Valencia. This new episode has caused the coach to ask those responsible for physical preparation for explanations to tell him what is happening because Zidane He confesses that he does not understand anything and that everything that is happening is not normal.
Zidane's anger is normal because this season, the white squad accumulates 40 injuries, including those of Odegaard and Jovic who are no longer in the white team, but who were also injured when they were Real Madrid players. A good comparison of what is happening to the white team is that the Barcelona has suffered 25 and Atlético de Madrid, only 15. The three teams have had the same preseason and the fact that Real Madrid has suffered so many has caused Zidane to ask for an explanation of what is happening because he does not understand it.
Lunin, Mendy, Casemiro and Vinicius They are the only Real Madrid players who have not been injured. Or what is the same, that 18 of the current squad have missed games because they are out due to injury. Right now, there are eight Real Madrid players injured. Sergio Ramos, Hazard, Marcelo. Carvajal, Valverde, Odriozola, Militao and Rodrygo they are the footballers that Zidane cannot count on. And that worries the French coach a lot because it is now when titles are won or lost and with so much injury, Real Madrid would be closer to losing those titles than to winning them.
Carvajal, two months KO
The last to fall has been Dani carvajal. Although at first it seemed a relapse of his thigh injury, the Real Madrid medical report revealed that the ailment was more serious than expected. “After the tests carried out on our player Dani Carvajal by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the right thigh with tendon involvement. Pending evolution, “said the statement from Real Madrid that assumes that Carvajal may be out for up to two months. He lost both games against Atalanta in the knockout stages of the Champions League in what is his fourth injury this season in which he has already lost a total of 19 games.
