Zubieta get used to working under the looming threat of covid-19. There is no choice. The positives accumulate in the Real with an assiduity as worrying as it is uncontrollable but Imanol
Sheriff he does not vary the training routine, trying to maintain high, in some way, the morale of the troops. It is impossible that the last two positives, those of Oyarzabal and Silva, in the last 24 hours, they have not provoked an internal reflection within the txuri urdin booth, that more than one has questioned many things. But while no one says otherwise, in just ten days you have to debut in the League in Pucela in front of Valladolid and we will have to try to get to the first day of the course in perfect magazine condition.
In this way, the Real began yesterday a new week of work shortly after knowing that David
Silva had tested positive and 24 hours after it was Oyarzabal who fell infected. The members of the txuri urdin squad who remain in Zubieta-Yesterday the internationals were absent Isak, Merino, Llorente and Zubimendi– They were subjected to new PCR tests, the results of which will be known today and they trained normally, by groups. The tests carried out yesterday will be the last ones that will be carried out, in principle, before the friendly on Wednesday in Villarreal. Another thing will be that there are more setbacks in the form of more positive today that will force us to rethink tomorrow's duel against the Castellón team.
The positives of the last week -three since last Wednesday- cause that since last week in Zubieta they work based on the most severe of the protocols. That is, the footballers arrive at the training ground in their own vehicles, already changed, they do not share any common room or much less changing rooms and, after exercising, they return to their homes to shower. Tomorrow they are scheduled again at four thirty in the afternoon for the last session before the game in Villarreal, with the only hope that the number of positives does not grow. Between injured, infected and international, Imanol Today he has not had up to ten players from the first team at his command. An undesirable way to prepare a league championship.
