Real Madrid ‘s last preseason training session did not end as planned. A scare from Antonio Rüdiger left everyone frozen. The German, when cutting off a strong shot from Alaba during the game, hurt his right knee. He fell to the ground, writhing in pain and calling medical assistance, who came to his rescue in seconds. The teammates and Ancelotti himself came to see what was happening to him.
Seconds later he stood up, calming down. Of course, she left limping clearly . He went around the Camping World pitch where he played the rest to leave through the changing room tunnel with one of the physios to carry out the pertinent tests. Although it seemed like bad news, the first scans ruled out serious discomfort.
There were no more shocks. The players warmed up together with Pintus , with a short running exercise. Later, a few rondos to gain ease with the ball to end a game in a reduced space. In it he tried two elevens. The first, and possibly the one that starts against Juventus (with the exception of Rüdiger) was made up of Lucas, Nacho, Fran; Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Bellingham; Vinicius and Joselu. In the second, with only nine players, Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Odriozola; Tchouameni, Valverde, Nico, Rodrygo and Brahim.
The footballers will compete against Juve and also against the heat. Despite the fact that the temperature is not extreme (just over 30 degrees), the thermal sensation can be up to ten degrees. The humidity in Orlando, where there are more than 100 lakes , causes the players to sweat more than necessary, even more considering that the stadium is open and does not have air conditioning like in Texas .
The match will begin at 7:30 p.m. (1:30 p.m. peninsular time), with the sun going down. After the match, the team will return to Spain, to finish the preparation in Valdebebas before the first day of LaLiga EA Sports. Athletic , next August 12, will test the level of the white team. If there are no surprises, with Rüdiger.
