Read Nacho and Carvajal are fit, is Casemiro fit enough to start a game ? We can probably have a backline of Carvajal Casemiro Nacho Mendy ?? Midfield of Modric, Kroos and Odegard Asensio/Rodrygo Mariano Vinicius ? No depth at all though - LV, Isco, Jovic.

Hazard y Militao superan el COVID. Se entrenarán ya a las 17.00. Contado en @deportescope.— Arancha Rodríguez (@AranchaMOBILE) November 19, 2020 Hazard and Militao have overcome covid!! Much needed good news
Como mínimo se pierde los próximos 3 partidos: Villarreal, Inter y Alavés.— Arancha Rodríguez (@AranchaMOBILE) November 19, 2020 Muscular problem for Ramos. At minimum will miss the next 3 games. Timetable is anywhere from 10 days to 2-3 weeks out Varane has a problem as well but smaller. It’s unclear still if he can play against Villarreal this weekend
This thin squad (in quality) carrying so many washed up players can’t continue to take injury after injury especially to crucial players like Sergio and Casemiro (covid) and maintain any kind of rhythm or winning form. Whatever positive results we get in the next few games is a bonus. My expectations are very low. It’s not looking good for us. This season might be a write off.
For me 11 plumbers in Real Madrid shirts have a better chance to win that playing in their overalls. We'll see. Things sometimes work out in strange ways.
Barcelona will experience similar struggles, and with a lot of dissension in their ranks, I think they'll struggle just as much as we will. We just need to get through to the summer, hopefully with the La Liga title (the CL is beyond us IMHO), and given the positive news about the vaccines, we're able to spend significantly in the summer and strengthen appropriately.
🚨 Jovic tests positive for Covid-19.Benzema didn't train with the squad today and Mariano will almost certainly be the team's starting striker tomorrow.— Lucas Navarrete (@LucasNavarreteM) November 20, 2020 It’s Mariano time
Jovic is like the 5th member of his national team to test positive. Those national team games are health hazards. I find it absolutely ignorant that football completely bypasses any government Emergency rule simply to play some Uefa friendly tournament.
Eden Hazard, Casemiro & Benzema did not train with the team today. Varane is not at 100% either, but he is expected to play tomorrow against Villarreal pic.twitter.com/Co2tKBjY8D— Daily Madrid (@DailyMadridcom) November 20, 2020 Weird, i'm pretty sure that both Hazard and Casemiro trained yesterday but they missed today's training. They could be unfit to play after COVID.
Not sure about Casemiro but Hazard is training today. Pic from today's training on the official site. I don't see Casemiro in any of the pics but there's only 7 pictures so far
Also, which dickhead's decision was it for allowing Vinicius to travel across the world for Brazil duties and for him to not play a single minute?
Pretty sure that's wrong. Casemiro didn't train, but Hazard did as far as I know. The absolute shittiest of luck my dude has.
Casemiro y Militao dieron dos resultados negativos y hoy han dado resultado indeterminado. Por eso, no viajan.— Arancha Rodríguez (@AranchaMOBILE) November 20, 2020 Bad news. No Casemiro or Militao this weekend because they both gave an indeterminate COVID test today, despite testing negative yesterday.
I haven't seen him train today and that's what was reported by almost all the media/journos. He did train yesterday.
Squad list for tomo’s game according to MM. Goalkeepers: Courtois, Lunin, Altube. Defenders: Carvajal, Nacho, R. Varane, Marcelo, F. Mendy, Chust. Midfielders: Kroos, Modrić, Ødegaard, Isco, Aranda. Forwards: Hazard, Asensio, Lucas V., Vini Jr., Mariano, Rodrygo. I guess all the talk about Zidane being interested in the academy player Blanco was just that. If you’re not calling him up for a game where you’re missing Case and Valverde then you never will.
So, Courtois - Mendy - Varane - Nacho - Carvajal - Casemiro - Kroos - Modric - Hazard - Mariano - Vinicius ?
