The situation
Real Madrid will have to face the visit to Getafe this Saturday (9:00 p.m.) without its star: Karim Benzema did not train this Friday morning along with the rest of his teammates and has not entered the list for the duel against the azulón team at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. A sensible loss for the whites, who will have to resort to emergency solutions again in that position. Real Madrid, for the moment, has not issued any medical report in relation to the problem that has prevented the Frenchman from going out to exercise with the rest of his teammates. In the white club they talk about a moment of possible muscle fatigue that would have caused Carlo Ancelotti to prefer to give the Frenchman rest against Getafe, thinking about next week’s duels against Shakhtar and, above all, in the Bernabéu Clásico against Barcelona , on Sunday the 16th. Ancelotti has confirmed that he is loaded, but he did not rule him out for Getafe : “He has played two games in a row after a month away, he is a bit loaded. He is not ruled out, if he is fine tomorrow he can play, ”he said at a press conference, but minutes later he left him off the list.
Benzema comes out of an injury
Muscular fatigue that may be related to Madrid’s last two games, in which Benzema played the full 90 minutes and at great intensity, despite the fact that he had just recovered from an injury that made him retire from the pitch at Celtic Park and prevented him from playing against Mallorca, Leipzig and Atlético . In any case, it is a very sensitive loss for Madrid during their visit to the Coliseum, a field that is always complicated. Without going any further, last year they lost 1-0. Ancelotti is left with two options for this Saturday’s duel: Rodrygo and Hazard. The Belgian was the first option if Benzema was missing and at Celtic Park he performed well, but then he faded and Rodrygo, who has already scored four goals this season, has eaten his toast. In Getafe, everything indicates that the Brazilian will be chosen to play forward, accompanied by Vinicius on the left and with another player on the right who can come from between Valverde and Asensio. Benzema’s loss would join the two that Ancelotti already had for this match: Courtois and Ceballos . The player from Utrera has about a month left, which is likely to leave him out until after the World Cup, although he hopes to be able to reach the last games before Qatar 2022.
