Zidane summons Hugo Duro and five others from Castilla

Zidane again pulls from Castilla to expand a call in which he barely has 13 players available with a first team card. The Real Madrid coach has summoned Hugo Duro for the game against Valladolid, who travels as Mariano's substitute in the face of last-minute discomfort from Benzema. The forward will share the expedition with five other team players, already common in the last matches of the first team: Altube (who usually performs the functions of third goalkeeper of the first team), Víctor Chust, Miguel Gutiérrez, Arribas and Blanco.

Zidane barely has 13 first team players due to the nine casualties due to injuries that plague the white dressing room in recent weeks: Carvajal, Odriozola, Ramos, Militao, Marcelo, Valverde, Hazard, Rodrygo and Benzema, who on the eve of the game could not train due to discomfort in the left adductor muscle.

The absence of the French forward motivates the call to the first team of Hugo Duro, on loan from Getafe and Castilla's top scorer this season, with eight goals in 12 games. It is his first call-up with the team in a League match, although he made his debut on a list in the expedition that traveled to Milan to face Inter in the Champions League.

Yes, their teammates are becoming regular first-team reinforcements. Arribas has had minutes in three of Madrid's last four games, Chust made his La Liga debut against Getafe and Miguel Gutiérrez and Blanco, although they have not yet had the opportunity to debut, add with this their fifth and fourth summons respectively this season.
