Another drop of weight for the Real Madrid: Marcelo, lesionado, will not play against the Athletic

The first day intersemanal of LaLiga 2018-19 has brought several discontents to the two big, that fell in his visits to Leganés and to Seville and that will look for to recover in his commitments of this Saturday. Few hours after a FC Barcelona-Athletic Club in the Camp Nou, there will be derbi in Santiago Bernabéu, and the panorama does not do more than complicating for the whites.

If it does some days Isco remained out of fight by an apendicitis, now is Marcelo the one who will cause drop by a muscular injury. It was slope of proofs after withdrawing 'touched' in the duel of the Sánchez Pizjuán, and the club has confirmed in a brief communiqué that has a problem in the sóleo of his right leg and that is slope of evolution.

Like this, Julen Lopetegui will add another absence of level, although they are not few those that have signalled that given the low performance that is showing the Brazilian, is not excessively worrisome. Except that there is surprise of the Gipuzkoan trainer, Nacho has a lot of numbers to occupy his place in the left side, and is a so experienced alternative like apt for clashes of maximum requirement.

More worrisome are the bad feelings that left the defeat of the past day, since to the team saw him without ideas in attack, too imprecise in the offensive and especially fallón in the retaguardia, that in little more than half hour had conceded three goals. In a derbi can happen of everything, but if there is not a positive result, can agrandarse on the lawn the problems of confidence.

The Athletic, almost to the complete for the derbi of the Bernabéu

The one who had several pending footballers of evolution for the meeting is the Athletic, that has received good news with the majority of them. Everything aims to that Santiago Arias and José María Giménez are available for Diego Simeone, although Gelson Martins is doubt and Stefan Savic is practically descartado.

After a start of season very irregular, the 'colchoneros' seem to have settled and are in full ascending line, something that pretend to confirm home of his rival maximum. It was as it was, it expects a party of maximum revolutions in the capital, that could leave an important change in the high zone of the classification.
