Real Madrid can’t believe their eyes. Expected on the Cadiz pitch next Sunday, the Merengue club will have to win in Andalusia to hope to put pressure on leader Girona, first in the standings with two points ahead of Casa Blanca. But the club dear to Florentino Pérez is preparing to start a busy week (Liga + Champions League match against Napoli) with a reduced squad.
Since the start of the season, Carlo Ancelotti has continued to see his infirmary fill up (Tchouaméni, Kroos, Modric, Nacho, Güler, Courtois, Kepa, Bellingham, Ceballos, Militão). And the last international break was a real nightmare. Eduardo Camavinga was injured during training with France and Vinicius Junior had to leave prematurely during the clash against Colombia.
The bleeding does not stop
Unfortunately for the Merengues, the problems are piling up. A.S. claims Rodrygo returned from Brazil with a knee problem. The Auriverde international (20 caps, 4 goals) would have received a blow during the clash against Argentina. Enough to make him miss yesterday’s training. Today’s tests will allow Real Madrid to learn more about the player’s length of unavailability.
His presence in Cadiz is, in any case, strongly compromised according to the Madrid newspaper. While waiting to have more, Madrid will therefore have to deal with an attack where only Joselu is operational. Suffice to say that the return to competition of Jude Bellingham (13 goals and 3 assists in 14 matches, all competitions) against Cadiz is eagerly awaited…
