2023-11-30 13:39:08

Alexander Medina will make his debut this Saturday, December 2, as coach of Granada, nothing more and nothing less than against Real Madrid and at the Santiago Bernabeú. The match will be at 2:30 p.m. and the Uruguayan will have the difficult challenge of saving it from relegation.

Granada has just seven points in the tournament, while Madrid is the leader with 35 points after 15 rounds of the Spanish League. The ex-Talleres took office just two days ago in his first experience abroad, after passing through Nacional, Matador and Vélez.

This is how Madrid arrives

The Real Madrid footballers carried out this Thursday, 12 hours after beating Naples (4-2) in the Champions League and certifying their classification as first in the group to the round of 16 of the competition, the first training session with their mind set in the next league match, on Saturday against Granada (18:30 CET, -1 GMT), for which the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti will have the same players.

Neither additions – of the eight absences due to injury that missed the ‘Champions’ match – nor absences, the great news for the white team hours after their victory, since the Spanish Brahim Díaz and the Brazilian Rodrygo Goes asked for the change before of time.

Brahim in the 65th minute with clear signs of fatigue and Rodrygo in the 87th after feeling cramps.

The club informs EFE that there are only two scares and that there is no injury, so, despite the obvious fatigue, and barring a last-minute setback, they will participate in the match against Granada at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Due to the load of minutes and the short time until the next match, the players who played the most minutes against Naples carried out a soft and recovery session thinking about Saturday’s match.

A match for which Ancelotti has eight players out due to injury.

Luka Modric was the last player to join the long list of absences due to injury. The Croatian, who could not finish last Sunday’s game in Cádiz, suffers from a strong overload that left him out against Naples on Wednesday and will not be against Granada either.

Thus adding to the absences of Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, long-term absences due to their knee injuries; Kepa for the muscle injury he suffers in the thigh of his right leg; Vinícius Junio ​​and Arda Güler due to muscle tears; Aurélien Tchouaméni due to a fracture in his toe and Eduardo Camavinga due to a rupture of the external lateral ligament in his right knee.
