The stoppage of teams has meant that a total of 6 Madrid players leave Valdebebas to play international matches. The only one who has been released has been Toni Kroos, due to an adductor injury, to avoid greater risks. Today it has been the turn of Belgium-Wales, Slovenia-Croatia and France-Ukraine.
The stoppage of teams is one of the biggest concerns of any Madrid player, for what may happen, before a key week. It comes at the best possible time for Zidane and it is a real fatality. Kroos, who was with Germany, was the first to fall due to adductor problems and hopefully will be the only one. His participation against Liverpool is not in danger, although it will be doubtful, due to his evolution, against Eibar.
Belgium-Wales (3-1)
The duel in which Thibaut Courtois and I could also count on Gareth Bale, despite being on loan, and perhaps one of the matches of maximum interest for Real Madrid in this FIFA stop. Courtois played 90 minutes and conceded a goal.
Slovenia-Croatia (1-0)
Modric appeared as captain in Stozice stadium. Zadar played his 134th match and became the Croatian footballer with the most matches on his back. He was a starter and added 90 minutes.
France-Ukraine (1-1)
Another direct duel of Real Madrid with Varane and Mendy as French. The center-back played 90 minutes, while the winger appeared as a substitute at the Stade France. Lunin, the rival goalkeeper, was a substitute for his country and remained unpublished.
