The Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that in the training session of Real Madrid, 48 hours after being eliminated from the Champions League, the trio of Federico Valverde, Vinicius Junior, and Sergio Ramos were absent. The defeat against Chelsea in the Champions League semi-finals left Real Madrid in a fragile state, though the Spanish giant has no time to dwell on its continental disappointment as Sevilla awaits them in La Liga this week.
They faced another issue due to the absence of Sergio Ramos, Vinicius Junior, and Federico Valverde from training on Friday, as the trio worked in the gym away from the rest of the group. Meanwhile, Raphael Varane will not play against Sevilla, while Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez have been ruled out for the remainder of the season, leaving Real Madrid to navigate the crucial period in La Liga without several key players.
Varane's absence is estimated to last about 10 days following an injury sustained during the match against Osasuna, although he was working in the gym on Friday. The French defender is expected to be available for the next match against Granada after facing Sevilla, although his absence means that Zidane will need to look for a substitute.
It is noteworthy that Real Madrid is currently in second place in the La Liga standings with 74 points, tied with third-placed Barcelona and two points behind the leaders, Atletico Madrid.
