"Real" Madrid team continues to be plagued by a series of player injuries. James Rodriguez, who missed the friendly match cycle and only played his first match after the break at Real Madrid this weekend, will not help the "white" team in the upcoming match. Real confirmed that the Colombian suffered a calf injury. He is guaranteed not to play against Villarreal, but should recover by the end of the international break. Zinedine Zidane allowed the Colombian to play against Real Valladolid. He played 55 minutes, but immediately after the match it became clear that he could not stay on the field longer due to physical problems. Eight players in the Real team suffered or had already suffered injuries this summer - Brahim, Marco Asensio, Thibaut Courtois, Ferland Mendy, Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, and Rodrygo.
