Fede Valverde set to MISS OUT on Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguayan squad

With the season now officially over after last night’s UCL final, there is expected to be a short international break, and then the players will go on holidays afterwards. However, players who will participate in the upcoming club World Cup are expected to have a shortened vacation. Fede valverde included.

On the last day of the season, the Uruguayan was diagnosed with Lumbosciatica, a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, extending from the lower back down into the leg. As a result, he won’t be traveling with the NT, reports Marca

Will Valverde be available for the club World Cup?

According to the medical report, a recovery time of ONE week was set. With one week already passed, it seems the player is not yet up to speed hence his exclusion. However, he’s expected to be fully ready for the competition.

Usually, when a player reports injured just before the international break, the NT calls him up for checks and confirmations. In this case, it seems like Real Madrid and Marcelo Bielsa are in total understanding.

In five days from now, Uruguay will take on Paraguay in the WC qualifiers, and will also face Venezuela 4 days later. They are expected to be without their captain on both occasions.

Valverde is a VERY important asset for the CWC

With the CWC fast approaching, Real Madrid are doing the most to make sure they have a fully fit squad. They even delayed the return of French players to the camp, just so the players can have enough rest.

Fede Valverde, is definitely one of those players Real Madrid are determined to keep healthy. He has become a very important figure in the dressing room and his absence will definitely be felt.

His versatility has served Real Madrid in many ways this season, especially in covering up the RB position. His participation in the CWC will be crucial in Real Madrid’s hopes of clinching the title.
