Zidane: Real Madrid's injuries concern me
Posted Friday, July 26, 2019 by Marca.com
Zinedine Zidane has expressed his concern over the recent flurry of injuries Real Madrid have picked up so far during pre-season.
Ferland Mendy was the latest to suffer a blow, following Marco Asensio's torn anterior cruciate ligament and Brahim Diaz's injury.
"It worries me and above all it bothers me," Zidane said.
"Marco's [injury and then] Ferland's, which is a minor injury, but he won't be able to continue working and we don't know for how long.
"These are things that happen and we will see if he comes back quickly with us."
Asensio will be sidelined for up to nine months, but Zidane didn't reveal whether Madrid would search for a replacement in the current transfer window.
"We are preparing with the players who are here," he added.
"Then we will return to Madrid.
"I don't think about who is going to replace Marco.
"We are devastated with Marco's injury and our squad is the one we have here."
Los Blancos are set to face Atletico Madrid in a derby that will take place in the United States on Saturday in the early hours of the morning.
"We will continue working, competing, trying to make things better on the field," he noted.
"I think it will be a good match, we know that our rivals have a good team, who fight and we are going to try to have a good game," he concluded.
