[Sport] Fede Valverde falls injured and Kroos leaves Germany's concentration due to discomfort

[SougarLord]

 

Bad news for Real Madrid. Fede Valverde suffers a muscle injury in his right leg and is almost certainly out for the next day 3 match against Eibar, as confirmed by this newspaper. In addition, she is a doubt for the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Liverpool, which will be played on April 6.

 

For his part, Toni Kroos returns to Madrid. The German midfielder has abandoned the concentration of his selection and will not play the qualifying matches for the World Cup that his country's team will play in the coming days.

 

Upon arrival in Germany, the medical services of the German team analyzed the physical state of Madrid's '8' and determined that he suffered some discomfort in the adductors, so the best solution was his absence in the matches against Iceland (Thursday), Romania (Sunday) and North Macedonia (Wednesday 31).

 

"Our technical department has examined and treated Toni intensely. He would have liked to stay in the group," said Low, who pointed out that taking into account the Eurocup and the load of the calendar they decided that "recovery from the injury should be a priority."

 

FIVE FROM THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN

"It is not ideal, but we cannot do anything," Zinedine Zidane explained last Saturday, asked about the trip of seven of his players with his national teams. Real Madrid faces a month of April that will be key in the season and the French coach does not want to lose anyone to injury.

 

The Madrid team will host Eibar on April 3, Liverpool on April 6, Barcelona on 10 and will travel to Anfield Road on April 14. An empty infirmary would help prepare those matches.

 

For this reason, and ten days before his next commitment, Kroos' muscular discomfort is basically good news for Zidane, who will see how the German rests for a few days and will not play any of the three scheduled matches with his country. The same happens with Karim Benzema, white top scorer and absent in the France squad.

 

Yes they will, except for last minute problems, Luka Modric, Sergio Ramos, Thibaut Courtois, Raphael Varane, Ferland Mendy and Lunin. Excluding the substitute goalkeeper, it is about several of the players who form the backbone of the team, and an injury during the national team break would be fatal for the outcome of the merengue season.
