Real Madrid have received a key reinforcement ahead of their trip to Liverpool in the Champions League.
The reigning champions travel to Merseyside to face the Premier League leaders in a crucial clash on November 27 at Anfield. Los Blancos returned to La Liga action this weekend with a thumping 3-0 win at Leganes as attention now shifts to Liverpool.
Carlo Ancelotti offered a cryptic update in his post-match press conference by saying no decision had yet been made on the injured Lucas Vazquez and Aurelien Tchouameni.
Fede Valverde took the captain’s armband at Leganes and covered the right-back position superbly in Vazquez’s absence.
Fede Valverde sacrifices himself
The Uruguayan has once again shown his quality and versatility and he is ready to fill in if needed at Liverpool.
“ During the Covid-19 pandemic, I played as a full-back against Liverpool and I was nervous. I think it will be harder this time, but I’m ready “, he said at the end of the match. Valverde’s confidence was also confirmed by Ancelotti, who insisted he had no problem keeping him in a cover role in such an important match.
“Valverde is a fantastic full-back. I think after Carvajal and Lucas he is the best full-back in the world. His problem is that he can play like that in many positions and my problem is to choose the best one for the team. »
