[Sport] The workload is already taking its toll: Nacho and Valverde, maximum caution

[Dr.Drako]

The workload and intensity of the sessions scheduled by Gregory Dupont and Zinedine Zidane begin to take its toll on some Real Madrid players. Nacho and Fede Valverde have finished quite loaded the last training session and as a precaution they will be examined before the session to see if it is more convenient for them to stay inside the facilities during the next training sessions.


Zero risk to prevent muscle discomfort from turning into breaks that take them away from the playing fields for much longer. In principle, the doctors trust that Fede can exercise today while with Nacho it is more normal that he works at a slower pace in the coming days.

The medical services are calm with the discomfort of these players and although they will continue their evolution in the next few hours, everything indicates that it is not a serious ailment. Classic pre-season annoyances that are usually solved in the worst case scenario with gym work, physio and rest.

Those of Nacho and Valverde are the first annoyances that appear after 14 training sessions in which Zidane and the physical trainer Dupont have been less more, progressively intensifying work in training. Jovic and Mariano, the other two players with physical problems, have already arrived injured in this preseason, although the latter is already making a career on the pitch. Zidane, however, will have reinforcements from Reinier and Miguel Gutiérrez in the next training sessions.
