The
Real Madrid
infirmary continues to accumulate protagonists.
The white team announced today the injury of
Joselu Mato
, who will be out for about three weeks due to
bone edema in his right ankle
.
The forward suffered a blow and although at first it seemed that he would have no problems playing against
Sevilla
, today the club has issued the medical report that leaves him out for the
second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Leipzig.
If the three weeks estimated by Madrid are met, the attacker will miss the duels against
Sevilla, Valencia, Leipzig and Celta
and would be a doubt for the match against
Osasuna
.
A very important loss for
Ancelotti
, who against the Andalusians will not be able to count on, in addition to Joselu,
Courtois, Alaba, Militao, Carvajal
(suspended),
Camavinga
(sanctioned) and
Bellingham
.
The positive news from training this Friday was that of
Antonio Rüdiger
, who completed the entire training session with the rest of his teammates and could return this Sunday, easing Ancelotti's puzzle a little.
The German's return would send
Tchouaméni
to the center of the field, along with
Kroos and Valverde
, with the coaching staff debating the fourth midfielder to accompany Rodrygo and Vinicius up top.
Modric and Brahim
have options.
During the morning in Valdebebas,
Jude Bellingham
ran alone on the grass and touched some of the ball, but he is still some way away from being able to train with his teammates.
The Englishman's goal is to reach the match against Valencia in Mestalla, next weekend, or the continental return against Leipzig, on March 6.
