Fede Valverde and Thibaut Courotis put the negative note of Real Madrid in the Classical against FC Barcelona at the end of the match with discomfort in their respective knees. The goalkeeper thing seems to have been a scare, not so the midfielder. The Uruguayan entered the field of play with 18 minutes remaining but had to be substituted in the 91st minute by Carvajal. The Uruguayan suffered a head-to-head blow with Gerard Piqué but when he fell to the ground he had bad support. It was testing for a few minutes but finally could not hold.
At the end of the meeting, Ancelotti did not clear up the doubts he had with the Uruguayan: “Valverde’s injury? I think it is a blow to the knee with Piqué, we will evaluate it tomorrow.” And although there is no break, the Italian coach will not be able to count on the midfielder for the next matches.
This Monday the corresponding medical tests have been carried out and, in the absence of official confirmation, various media such as the newspaper Mark wave COPE chain They indicate that the player suffers a sprain in the lateral ligament of the left knee although it has been ruled out that he suffers a tear. The player is pending evolution but could be out for the next 10 days.
Valverde would miss the League matches against Osasuna and Elche and the Champions League match against Shakhtar at the Bernabéu. Depending on how that recovery goes, Valverde could be available again for Ancelotti on matchday 13 against Rayo Vallecano on November 6. This was followed by a new national team break until the weekend of the 21st, when club competition was resumed.
