Dani Carvajal is the first loss in Real Madrid to play the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday against Athletic Club. The white team reported this Friday that the player had tested positive for Coronavirus and while waiting for more tests to be carried out in case it is a false positive, Ancelotti will not be able to count on the full-back.
After the positive, Carvajal did not participate in the last training session of the white team and is isolated in his hotel room.
Bad luck is taking its toll on the Leganés defender who precisely reappeared on Wednesday in the Clásico from his injury and played 90 minutes, being replaced by Lucas Vázquez in extra time. So far this season, Carvajal has missed up to 10 games with Madrid due to his physical problems and now that he is recovered he will have to stop again.
And while the team prepares for the final, the question is what will happen to Carvajal. Saudi Arabian legislation establishes a two-week quarantine in the country for anyone who has tested positive. However, the Spanish Federation carried out a series of steps prior to the Super Cup dispute with the Saudi authorities and from the club they trust that the full-back does not have to comply with the quarantine period and can return to Spain as soon as possible.
from the diary The world They point out that, according to Real Madrid sources, Carvajal will not return to the Spanish capital with the rest of the team and will do so on Tuesday on a private plane.
Real Madrid trusts that Carvajal’s positive is an isolated case and for the moment they have not confirmed any more positives. Let us remember that the white team has just overcome an outbreak in which 11 members of the first team, assistant coach Davide Ancelotti and youth squad player Sergio Arribas, tested positive.
