Zinedine Zidane, along with his coached Madrid "Real" team, continues preparation for the new season.
In the United States, the "white" team, playing friendly matches, will have their final test before the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night when they face the excellent form-demonstrating Munich "Bayern".
Currently, in Z. Zidane's team, several main team football players who are resting after the European Championship have not yet arrived. There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo, who experienced a knee injury in the final of the Old Continent's championship, will miss the fight for the first season trophy.
The UEFA Super Cup final will take place on August 9th, and Toni Kroos and Gareth Bale will only return from vacation on August 6th. It is believed that Z. Zidane may be forced to do without two of his key players, as he does not want to risk their health when they have only missed three days of training.
Defender Pepe will also not play in the Super Cup, as he will only return from vacation on August 10th. Furthermore, so far Z. Zidane has not received good news from his physical coaches about Karim Benzema, who did not play in both friendly matches due to injury.
Another painful loss is Keylor Navas. The Costa Rican, who conceded only two goals in the UEFA Champions League last season, due to a surgery performed at the beginning of summer, works according to a special training plan. Without a doubt, Kiko Casilla will guard the goal in the Super Cup.
It is worth remembering that, for the first season trophy, "Real" will face the Europa League winner "Sevilla" in Norway.
