There is no quiet Tuesday for this second Madrid of Zinedine Zidane . If a week ago, the anguish of the Champions League and doubts about the future of the coach shook the team in Istanbul , this time it was two absences on the list of summoners that splashed the day. They will not be in the match against Leganés, Gareth Bale and Vinicius Junior . The second by decision of the technician and the first by own will.

You do not see the Welshman in a position to play, suffering from ailments that the resonance that was made when returning from his selection, last week, barely intuited. It is more self- prevention , they believe in the club, of a careful footballer with his fragile anatomy. Bale has accepted the right of any citizen to keep his medical record out of the public eye. "I can't talk about it," Zidane says.

From some cramps suffered more than two weeks ago playing with Wales, it has gone on a long-term casualty, seasoned with a personal trip to London, thanks to a permit requested from the management, without first passing by the coach. It is not necessary to inform the technician, according to the internal code, but it is significant to skip French.

Despite having started the course playing a lot and starting, he does not forgive the forward episodes of the past. From the replacement in Kiev to the curves of last summer. ZZ, like this and everything, denies the distance. "They want to confront me with Bale, but we have a good relationship," he revealed at a press conference with 90% of the questions related to the British footballer.

Travel to London

When he was also seen traveling to London in the company of his private physiotherapist (in tourist, by the way, something usual in Bale), speculation about his physical condition was unleashed. Was he seeking a second medical opinion in England? In the club, being a personal issue, they have no record of the exact reason for the getaway. Your legs or a family affair. What has come to them is that, before flying, they met at dawn with an exercise table recommended by the coaching staff. «When you can train, train. When he can play, he plays, ”Zidane replied in a good summary of the soccer player's guadianesque career, with a star to shine on tag nights and crashed too many weeks for injuries.

Another with a musty face is Vinicius , off the list for rotations. His absence always generates debate in the club. In ZZ's eyes, Rodrygo is now trading higher . This Wednesday expects a rival who in January 2018 caused a huge scar in the Marseille. That copera elimination made him think even of resignation. He endured, but it was the beginning of his departure months later. Of course, winning before his third Champions in a row.
