Bad news for Real Madrid: Winnitius not trained, suspected of coronary

Zinedine Zidane continues to face problems to compose the formation of tomorrow's match. “Victima” in defense, such as Sergio Ramos, Carweal and Nacho, joined Marcello, who did not go out with his teammates in the field of “Valdebebas” for training, but worked within the environment. Winnitius was not even there. Zidane explained at a press conference that the David-19 test, to players two days before each match, has raised doubts about the Brazilian. That is why it was not possible to train today: It's not like there's a confirmed coronary, but sometimes when we take the test, he's wrong. Therefore, Winnitius must repeat the test. He did this this this morning and afternoon we'll know the exact outcome. There are no problems and symptoms, actually, so if the test turns negative, it's logically going to be with us tomorrow”.

The good news comes from Hazard. He trained today with the rest of his teammates. Belgu concluded yesterday's session practicing alone. Marcelo's absence further complicates the puzzle Zidane must resolve - to form protection against the Alavés. Ramos and Carvaial have been suspended because of cartoons, Nacho continues to work alone, recovering from muscle damage that has kept him out of the field from June 8th. With these restrictions, Zidane's solution is expected to be Militao and Varan as the quarterback, Marcelo on the left and Mendy on the right, a position that is not strange for the Frenchman.

But if Marcelo doesn't get better, in principle Mendy will play left. Zidane has several options for the right wing of defence. First, Militao. Brazil has already played that role in the transfers of Mallorca and Batis. Another opportunity for Real Madrid coach would be to activate Lucas Wázquez, who has sporadic experience in that nonnatural position. A third solution would be to activate Mendy in the expected position, from the right, and to the left to play Javi Hernández.
