Brahim Diaz would have suffered from an adductive injury during the match in Santiago Bernabéu. While waiting for the diagnosis, Real Madrid revealed another problem: that of Federico Valverde.
Real Madrid confirms Federico Valverde's injury
According to an official press release (via Marca), Real Madrid confirmed that Valverde was injured on the back against Real.
“Following the exams carried out today on our player Fede Valverde by the Real Madrid medical services, a lombosciatalgia was diagnosed. The evolution is underway. “
The Uruguayan international will be fit for the Club World Cup
Valverde has been omnipresent in Real Madrid since last August, except for a three -week period during which he suffered from pain. He expected him to be a key player in the new Xabi Alonso coach at the club World Cup this summer. Fortunately, he should be in good shape for the opening match against Al Hilal on June 18.
According to Marca, Valverde should only suffer from his injury for about a week, which means that he will be restored in time to face the Saudi Pro League team at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
It will be very interesting to see how Real Madrid will line up his team against Al Hilal, especially since Alonon should adopt the 3-4-3 system he has used in Bayer Leverkusen in recent years. Valverde will be a key element of this tactic, especially since his versatility will allow him to evolve in several positions if necessary.
