Ehe Real Madrid, who had already reached the Copa del Rey, will do it even more. The white club announced at the stroke of midnight that Jeffery Taylor, after the tests he has undergone this Monday, has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the outer calf of his right leg.
Although the statement says the usual “pending evolution”, three days before the tournament starts, it is impossible for it to arrive. The Madridistas are left without a fundamental player in the rotations of Pablo Laso, the usual bulldog of the best exteriors of the rivals.
Taylor was injured in Sunday’s game against Movistar Estudiantes. In a play in the third quarter, the forward jumped in front of Aleksa Avramovic and when he fell he already had to ask for the change. His injury adds to the physical problems of Usman Garuba, who also could not finish the derby against the schoolboys, and those of Sergio Llull, Rudy Fernndez, Jaycee Carroll and Nico Laprovitola, who have just overcome various ailments, including positive for coronavirus of the Argentine base.
