Madrid trained in Valdebebas with 20 troops, including two homegrown players: goalkeeper Luis López and midfielder Javi Villar. Carvajal continues to recover from his discomfort in one of his groin muscles ; the full-back jumped onto the Valdebebas pitch to work separately with the team’s main recuperator, José Carlos García Parrales. While Hazard, who sprained an ankle in Friday’s session, stayed working in the gym . His injury, in principle, is not serious or will require proof, but it will prevent him from playing at San Mamés.
Nacho and Ceba will start according to Carlo
These casualties join those that were already known about Tchouameni, Alaba and Lucas Vázquez. Ancelotti will have to face the visit to San Mamés without five footballers, three of whom are starting theorists in the gala eleven.
