Real Madrid News latest real madrid news
Good news for Carlo Ancelotti before facing El Clasico. The three players who were injured in the match against Real Mallorca were not seriously injured. All three will be examined upon their return to Valdebebas.
If the result is known, they will be back to work with the rest of their teammates all week, when the Whites are back in action to prepare for the match against Barcelona (Sunday, 9:00pm).
Already at the press conference after the match, the Italian coach made it clear that they are not serious injuries: Rodrygo was hit in the ankle, Benzema noticed discomfort after the jump in the third goal, while Mendy had an overload of the adductor muscle.
The one who worries the most is Karim Benzema. The striker, the tournament’s top scorer, felt pain after scoring his second and third goal of the match. As was the case in the league match against Elche on January 23, and asked to leave but the five changes were made, Madrid finished the match with ten men on the field.
The Frenchman played five consecutive matches between the League and the Champions League, scoring eight goals, all of which are key to the Whites’ victories. Coming out of Mallorca’s stadium, the player himself underestimated the possibility of his injury. On his return to Valdebebas, he was working with one of the doctors he trusted. On Wednesday, when the inflammation has subsided, he will be examined and an MRI done to determine how uncomfortable he is.
Rodrygo also wanted to reassure the Real Madrid fans after Raylo’s very difficult intervention forced him to leave with the help of two doctors on his way to the dressing room. The striker suffered a terrible blow in the 70th minute: the Mallorca player and the Brazilian went for the ball, leaving the Real Madrid player injured.
It was initially thought that there was a possible fracture of the canoe, a small bone located near the ankle, but the player left the Visit Mallorca stadium to walk on his feet without having to use crutches. He will stay at home to rest and will be reviewed in Valdebebas. But it does not appear to be dangerous.
The third player is Ferland Mendy. The Frenchman was injured in the 80th minute after noticing discomfort in the adductor muscle. He preferred to go out, which meant that this overload did not go further and also wanted to rest. It will also be checked to avoid last minute concerns.
It is true that there are still a few days left for the three to develop positively to reach the best possible conditions for El Clasico. A victory over the Blaugrana would put another nail in the league.
