Toni Kroos responds on Friday afternoon via Twitter with surprise to a statement that has been made about him by Real Madrid. The Royal reports that the German midfielder has been in contact with someone with the corona virus and is therefore obliged to self-isolate. Duckweed himself has not become infected with the virus, but nevertheless, there is nothing left for him to do but spend a few days in home quarantine.

Kroos places an emoji of a face that looks up with a little disappointment and an emoji of someone holding up his hands questioningly. It seems that Real’s leadership did not inform the midfielder themselves first. Due to the developments on Friday, Kroos will most likely miss Sunday’s game against Athletic Club, although Zinedine Zidane has not yet announced the match selection. There is still doubt about his employability in the final league game against Villarreal on May 23.

In any case, it is a setback for Zidane, who has already missed the necessary players due to injuries in the crucial phase of the season in LaLiga. Midweek against Granada (1-4 victory), the Real coach missed seven defenders alone: ​​Sergio Ramos, Dani Carvajal, Raphaël Varane, Lucas Vázquez, Victor Chust, Marcelo and Ferland Mendy. With two league matches to go, Real is two points (80 to 78) behind leader and fellow townsman Atlético Madrid.
