THE Real Madrid announced this Wednesday that left-back Marcelo and midfielder Luka Modric tested positive for covid-19.
With that, the pair will be embezzled in the next round of the spanish championship, when the meringues face Cádiz, this Saturday, at the Santiago Bernabéu. The players are also doubtful for the duel with Athletic Bilbao, next Wednesday.
The Brazilian should not be so missed by Carlo Ancelotti’s team, as Mendy took over. However, Modric will be a low one. The Croatian has started in the last seven matches.
Uruguayan Federico Valverde should win an opportunity in the starting 11 during the period in which Modric will not be able to be cast.
Real Madrid lead Espanyol with some clearance. The meringues have 42 points, eight more than second-placed Sevilla, who have a game to play.
