A Bad News Hits Fede Valverde!

 Real Madrid is set to face Real Sociedad in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals this Wednesday at the Reale Arena, with kickoff scheduled for 21:30 CET. Despite the importance of the fixture, manager Carlo Ancelotti is expected to make several rotations, prioritizing La Liga and the UEFA Champions League over the domestic cup competition.



One of the biggest concerns heading into the match is the fitness of Fede Valverde. The Uruguayan midfielder, who has been a vital player for Ancelotti this season, was left out of the squad for Madrid’s recent La Liga victory over Girona (2-0) to allow him some much-needed rest. This was the first time since May 11, 2024, that Valverde was completely left out of a matchday squad, highlighting his incredible durability and the workload he has endured.


Reports from Spain indicate that Valverde may once again be sidelined for the semi-final clash against Real Sociedad or, at best, start from the bench. His versatility has made him indispensable, even playing in defense when required, particularly in the absence of Lucas Vázquez. However, the relentless schedule has taken its toll, with Valverde suffering from minor muscular discomfort.


The Uruguayan international was forced to push through the pain barrier in Madrid’s recent Champions League showdown against Manchester City. Despite his commitment and determination, he has now been advised to take caution, as he did not participate in collective training with the squad earlier today.


Given his physical condition, the Real Madrid medical staff is urging prudence in managing Valverde’s workload. Ancelotti is keen to have him fit for the crucial upcoming fixtures, and risking his long-term fitness for a single match could be detrimental. The decision on whether he will feature against Real Sociedad will ultimately depend on his recovery in the next few hours.
