❌ Fede Valverde misses this afternoon’s clash with Sevilla | OneFootball

Real Madrid have already officially announced the squad selected by Álvaro Arbeloa for this afternoon’s match (19:00) against Sevilla FC at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.

The Salamanca-born coach is taking a solid group to the Andalusian capital, though it is affected by a major absence in midfield. The big surprise and main talking point from the Madrid squad traveling is the absence of Fede Valverde.

Although the Uruguayan midfielder trained yesterday with apparent normality alongside the rest of his teammates at Real Madrid City, he has ultimately been left out due to late physical discomfort.

His absence opens the door to a starting spot for players such as Camavinga or Tchouaméni, who will have to step up to control the midfield in a ground that is always hostile and difficult.

To cover for the significant midfield absence and complete the traveling squad, Arbeloa has once again looked to the academy, including young talents such as Thiago, Leiva and Mesonero, who are already regulars in first-team training.

Up front, firepower is guaranteed with figures such as Kylian Mbappé, Vini Jr. and Brahim Díaz.
