Real Madrid will test its players for the Covid-19 on Sunday in Valdebebas, starting at eight in the morning. The league prohibited from performing these medical tests to his players at their private homes, as had happened in previous performances. This control in the homes of professionals involves a cost of personnel, time, planning and money.
The league champion has carried out these tests at home because that way he avoided contact between his players without knowing if there were any positives. A month ago Mariano Díaz gave positive in the test to which he underwent at home, after the week of vacation that Zidane granted them after winning the thirtieth fourth Spanish league championship, and the Madrid club thus eluded the forward’s contact with his teammates, who returned to prepare for the Champions League match against City.
The league champion returns to the field to work. He played his last game on August 7, against Manchester City in England, and the players will be in the capital of Spain on Sunday 30, to spend the tests. Together with them they will be subjected to the controls of the Covid-19 all professionals on the team, including technicians, doctors, physiotherapists, press and the rest of the employees who work periodically with the first team.
Once the PCR results are known, the players will carry out their first session of the 2020-21 preseason on Monday, August 31, under the orders of Zidane and his technical team, at the expense of last-minute casualties due to transfer or assignment, as they are James cases, Borja, Mariano and Brahim.
Thirteen international players, including Óscar Rodríguez and Reguilón, as well as Odriozola, winner of the Champions League with Bayern, will not make the first leg of the preseason with Zizou.
The protocol of the League against Covid-19 with a view to the next campaign makes it clear that as soon as there is a positive from a team professional it must be communicated to the Ministry of Health of the autonomous community, in addition to the CSD. It will be a different preseason. There is no trip to the United States, nor a China.
The hard physical work of return will be carried out in Valdebebas. And the Madrid coach will summon men from Castilla and the first youth team. The League will start for whites on September 19, for what Zinedine’s work with his men before the league championship was born will be minimal in this strange year that it has already destroyed two campaigns, the previous one and the one that will now begin, on September 12, with the exception of the clubs that played the Champions League and the Europa League, which they will do later.
How to begin preseason fieldwork is another unknown. The League, together with the CSD and Health, must decide whether to return normally or to prevent training with more than 2, 3, 4 or 5 players together. The teams are at the expense of those who say the autonomous communities and the Ministry of Health, which are legislating discretionary and day by day depending on the progress of the pandemic.
