Federico Valverde injury update ahead of Real Madrid vs Man City | OneFootball

An update on the wellbeing of Real Madrid star Federico Valverde has this evening been forthcoming online.

This comes after the Uruguayan set alarm bells sounding across the Real fanbase earlier today.

Valverde, in the eyes of many the most important player in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, played no part in group training alongside his teammates on Monday morning.

Instead, the midfielder took part in an individualised session, inside the gym at Valdebebas.

Just 48 hours out from Los Blancos’ Champions League playoff 2nd leg showdown with Manchester City, such news came as a source of understandable concern for the club’s supporters.

Such fans, though, need not fret.

This comes with an update on Valverde’s fitness having now been provided.

As per a report from Marca:

‘The Uruguayan did not train with the group this morning due to some minor discomfort that he has from the match against Osasuna, although it is expected that he will do so tomorrow.’

Valverde, in turn, is expected to take his place at right-back in Real Madrid’s starting XI to face Man City on Wednesday night.
