Ferland Mendy is currently on the side with a muscle injury, Real Madrid reports on Saturday. The Spanish club does not announce the duration of his absence, but the media in Spain assumes that the left back will not be available for ten to fifteen days. That would mean that Mendy will play the next three league games of the Royal misses and possibly also the first semi-final match with Chelsea in the Champions League.
The composition of Real Madrid’s match selection for Sunday’s regional derby in and against Getafe is revealing: three goalkeepers and thirteen field players. Zinedine Zidane has the necessary problems, especially in defense, as Raphaël Varane, Sergio Ramos, Nacho Fernández, Daniel Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez, who has been turned right back, are also missing for various reasons.
What is the remaining program of Atlético, Barça, Real and Sevilla?
The tension is to cut in the upper regions of LaLiga. The differences between Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona are minimal, while Seville also has the top three in sight.
Zidane has only four defenders at his disposal and they will therefore form the defense on Sunday: Odriozola, Eder Militao, Victor Chust of Real Madrid Castilla and Marcelo. Carvajal has not yet fully recovered from his fourth injury this season, Vázquez’s football season is almost over and Ramos is not only suffering from a calf injury but also has the corona virus. This also applies to Varane, who has not been training since April 6 because he still has not tested negative.
Nacho Fernández took his fifth yellow card of the season against Barcelona and will therefore be suspended on Sunday, just like Casemiro. The midfielder received a yellow card twice in the top match against the Catalans. Mendy (3,197), Varane (3,195) and Casemiro (3,166) made the most minutes this season.
Real Madrid match selection – Courtois, Lunin, Altube; Militao, Marcelo, Odriozola, Chust; Duckweed, Modric, Valverde, Isco; Benzema, Asensio, Vinicius, Mariano and Rodrygo.
