Real Madrid has revealed that experienced scorer Joselu has hurt his ankle, which is another bad news.
“The tests that the Real Madrid Medical Services did on our player Joselu showed that he has bone edema in his right ankle.” “Evolution to follow,” the club’s statement said.
This week, Joselu hadn’t practiced with the rest of the team because of the same ankle problem. At first, it looked like he might be able to play against Sevilla on Sunday.
But after today’s practice, it became clear that he might not be able to play in the La Liga game this weekend.
Now, Real Madrid has confirmed that the scorer will be out for a while with an ankle injury.
Even though the club hasn’t said when he’ll be back, writer Jorge C. Picon says that the Merengues think the Spanish legend will be out for three weeks.
As a result, Joselu will likely not play in the La Liga games against Sevilla, Valencia, and Celta Vigo. He will also miss the second half of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match against RB Leipzig. His role in the fight with Osasuna will also be called into question.
It’s another setback for Real Madrid in a season full of illnesses.
With 13 goals, Joselu is tied for the second-highest scorer for the club this season. His loss will be noticed, especially since Jude Bellingham is also out right now.
This means that Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Jude Bellingham, Joselu, Dani Carvajal (banned), and Eduardo Camavinga will not be able to play on Sunday.
