Zinedine Zidane Admits He Is Worried by Injuries Real Madrid Have Suffered in Pre-Season

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has admitted that the injuries suffered by several of his players this summer are a concern just a few weeks from the start of the new La Liga season.

Marco Asensio will require surgery after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a friendly against Arsenal and is expected to miss the majority of the 2019/20 season.

Brahim Diaz has also been nursing a thigh problem this month, while new full-back Ferland Mendy has suffered a minor setback that has ruled him out of crucial training sessions.
