Courtois, Camavinga, Valverde and Vinicius, positive in COVID

The Real Madrid has announced four new positives in its ranks. These are four very important players for Ancelotti: Thibaut Courtois, Vinicius Junior, Fede Valverde and Eduardo Camavinga. All of them are in good condition, confined to their respective homes after returning from their vacations. Especially sensitive are the losses of the first two, who have played most of the minutes so far this season. None will be against Getafe in the first game of the year (January 2) or in the Cup match against Alcoyano (January 5). The question is whether they will be negative for the match against Valencia on January 8. Its evolution will be followed day by day with new tests.

The team will return to training at 5:00 p.m., but earlier, first thing in the morning, the players went through the Sports City to undergo anti-COVID tests. Although the club asked them to be restrictive regarding their social relationships during this Christmas, implementing an important protocol, this has not prevented new infections. It should be remembered that before the holidays there were already seven infected: Lunin, Isco, Marcelo, Alaba, Asensio, Bale and Modric. So was the second coach, Davide Ancelotti. All of them are already recovered.

Now it’s Carletto’s turn to find solutions. The contagion of Courtois opens the door for Lunin, who for the first time since he arrived at Madrid will have the opportunity to play two games in a row. Without Vinicius, the left winger is left without an owner, but the Italian has a Hazard in great shape so that he has the opportunity to shine in his most usual position.
