A madrid plagued with injuries
¿Will real Madrid be able to pass this weekend's test?
The plague of injuries that Madrid suffers this season (and that has been joining the positives for COVID) is important to point out. Carvajal is still facing the final stretch of the right thigh injury suffered in mid-February, his fourth physical problem this season. Lucas Vázquez, who has established himself as his replacement, said goodbye to the season in the Clásico against Barcelona due to a sprained posterior ligament in his left knee in a clash with Busquets.
On the axis, Ramos, who began to have minutes after undergoing knee surgery in early February, returned from the last national team break with an injury to the inner calf of his left leg. To make matters worse for the captain, this Tuesday he tested positive for COVID.
The coronavirus has also separated from the team from day 6 to Varane, which although it has exceeded the minimum period of isolation, has not yet tested negative in the tests that must be done before returning.
The third central, Nacho, is serving a sanction for seeing the fifth yellow in the Classic. With the last loss of Mendy, all the starting defense of Madrid (and two of its spare parts) are in the infirmary.
In the chapter of casualties for Getafe there is also Casemiro, sanctioned with a game for his expulsion in the Classical. Zidane has only summoned 16 players for the match against those from Bordalás.
A getafe that, although it is true, places the position number 15 in the rankings table, it is characterized by being a very physical team, so a more than entertaining match awaits us this weekend, a Madrid that wants to continue fighting to achieve the league and a getafe who will want to take advantage of a madrid plagued with injuries.
