Data Fifa removes ‘entire team’ from Real Madrid due to call-ups
Real Madrid suffered major losses due to the FIFA International Day. With a squad full of world football stars, Carlo Ancelotti saw an “entire team” called up for international matches around the world.
In total, 11 players were called up to represent their nations. Carvajal (Spain), Modric (Croatia), Mbappé (France), Brahim Díaz (Morocco), Arda Güler (Turkey), Lunin (Ukraine) and Valverde (Uruguay), in addition to the Brazilians Éder Militão, Vini Jr, Rodrygo and Endrick, left Valdebebas for national commitments. In addition to these names, there are five players who are usually called up who are in the merengue medical department: Alaba, Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouaméni and Mendy. Rüdiger, meanwhile, was rested by Germany, while Courtois announced that he will not play for Belgium while Domenico Tedesco remains in charge, as the two have long-standing disagreements.
– A break is never a good idea, because it keeps players away, especially those who travel to South America, who have difficulty returning and resting. What I ask is that we don’t get injured. That is the biggest risk, because the players are used to playing all the time. The only thing I ask is that everyone comes back in good shape – said Ancelotti.
