An
Ancelotti
will sit on the bench at the
Balaídos Stadium
this Saturday (6:30 p.m.), but it will surely not be
Carlo
.
The Italian coach
tested positive for Covid
during the national team break and still has symptoms:
fever and strong cough
, as this newspaper has learned.
His presence on the plane that will leave Madrid for Vigo this Friday afternoon to face
Celta
is, right now, unlikely.
Madrid does not want to take any risk, neither with the coach's health nor, obviously, with the possibility of contagion to other members of the expedition.
According to Health regulations, testing positive without symptoms does not require quarantine, but the discomfort that the
62-year
-old coach maintains will force him to stay in the capital.
Still, the club will make the decision tomorrow.
If his symptoms do not improve, it will be his son
De he Davide
, second coach of the team, who will take charge of the duel, both for the previous press conference and for the day of the match.
It is not the first time that the Ancelotti family has suffered from the virus, since Davide himself was one of those infected in the outbreak that Madrid experienced during the month of December.
As for the squad,
Karim Benzema and Ferland Mendy
, who missed the Madrid team's last games and did not travel with France for international friendlies, trained normally this Thursday and may be called up for the Vigo match.
In addition, all the internationals have returned without disturbance.
Vinicius
has been in Madrid since Monday and
Modric, Bale, Casemiro, Valverde, Rodrygo and Militao
have joined without setbacks.
The only absences, known as
Eden Hazard
's withdrawal after undergoing surgery, have been
Isco Alarcón
and
Luka Jovic
.
The first due to back problems and the second due to a blow to the right ankle received during the last Serbian game.
Both are almost ruled out to face Celta.
