The Brazilian team could greatly complicate Real Madrid

It has been quite some time since the last national team break, but at the end of the month we will get another one. La Liga will temporarily stop on March 21 and Real Madrid are already on standby – they have five Brazilian players on the squad and they may be required to stay in solitary confinement for 10 days after returning to Spain.

These are Casimiro, Rodrigo, Vinicius Jr., Marcelo and Adar Militeau. With the exception of Marcelo, all the others receive summonses to the various Celsa teams almost regularly, and the team has games against Colombia (March 26) and Argentina (March 31). If they return to Spain on April 1, they will probably be required to stay in solitary confinement until April 10, a day before the Clasico against Barcelona.

Meanwhile, the injuries do not end at Real Madrid. The Spanish champions’ long line of shortcomings and injuries was also joined by Mariano Diaz, who injured a muscle in his left leg and will miss the big derby against Atletico Madrid on Sunday. (17:00, live broadcast on channel ONE).

All this while the list of such wounded is not over. Karim Benzema is still in doubt for the match against the city rival, while Eden Hazard, Sergio Ramos and Danny Carvajal are also among the prominent players who will remain out. Zinedine Zidane will once again be forced to come up with a full squad of academy players.
