The Brazilian Casemiro returned to exercise this in Valdebebas after confirming that he has overcome the coronavirus, for which he tested positive on November 7, and carried out part of the training with the group, as did the Frenchman Karim Benzema.
The French striker suffered a muscle injury during the last day of LaLiga Santander that Real Madrid played in Valencia with a defeat (4-1). Benzema continues to recover with the idea of trying to get to the match that his team will play against Villarreal next Saturday at the Estadio de la Cerámica (4:15 p.m. CET).
Two good news for a Zinedine Zidane who still cannot count on the Belgian Eden Hazard, who tested positive the same day as Casemiro, and the Brazilian Eder Militao, still positive for coronavirus, nor with the Uruguayan Fede Valverde and the Spanish Álvaro Odriozola, due to injury, and those who worked inside the facilities of the Real Madrid Sports City to continue with their recovery.
None will play the next day. Valverde, also absent against Valencia, suffers a fissure in the posterior tibial spine of his right leg, while Odriozola was diagnosed with an injury to the calf of his left leg on October 3, so his return to the field of game should be close if you follow the planned plans.
In addition, Zidane is pending the health status of Sergio Ramos, who had to leave the pitch against Germany (6-0) before the end of the first half after noticing discomfort in the biceps femoris. His usual teammate at Real Madrid, the Frenchman Raphael Varane, also left the pitch early in the match with his national team against Sweden (4-2) after suffering a blow to his shoulder.
After the international matches last night, both are awaiting tests with the club to diagnose their ailments and establish time off if necessary. Two absences that would be more than sensitive due to their importance within the team and because ‘Zizou’ would only have one healthy central defender left in the first team: Nacho Fernández.
The rest of the teammates who were not called up with their national teams trained normally in a session featuring exercises with the ball, both possession and pressure, in addition to Norwegian Martin Odegaard, released from his team after a compatriot tested positive and who He trains normally after giving negative in the pertinent tests carried out.
