The low of Benzema leaves Zidane with the staff more depleted than it already was. The French coach has 13 players with a first team card to face Real Valladolid, including the two goalkeepers, so Zidane only has 11 field players with a first team card.
The big question is to know what Zidane will do to replace Benzema at the tip of the white attack. The logical thing is to think that it will put Mariano, the only center forward that the coach has on his squad.

Benzema Raises the losses of Real Madrid to nine players, none of whom will play against Valladolid and it will be necessary to see if any will reach the game next Wednesday against Atalanta in the first leg of the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Right now, Zidane It has the casualties of Sergio Ramos, Hazard, Carvajal, Marcelo, Benzema. Valverde, Rodrygo. Odriozola and Militao. Given this situation, the coach must pull the quarry to complete the call against Valladolid.
