On the one hand the blow from Hazard’s umpteenth muscle injury, which makes it very difficult for him to reach the first leg against Atalanta, but In the afternoon he was told a good news: Nacho has overcome the coronavirus. The center-back had been in quarantine since the previous Copa del Rey match against Alcoyano and just two weeks later offered this Wednesday the second negative test that enables him to return.
Nacho may be, therefore, in the Madrid training tomorrow Thursday in Valdebebas and give him a break for Zidane for Huesca. Madrid walks with Ramos still to recover and Militao will be dismissed due to sanction after the red one that he saw last day against Levante. Nacho, once the Covid-19 is left behind, will be able to help in the center of the field or even the right side, given Carvajal’s injury.

This same week, last Tuesday, it was Zidane who was discharged and returned to the front line of action. The only relevant case open right now in the club is that of its president, Florentino Pérez, positive since last Tuesday in the test round that the entity did to soccer players, technical staff and managers.
