The Real Madrid Player Who's Already Recovered from a Virus for the Final

The incredible recovery a Real Madrid star has had to be available for the final

The 3-0 victory against Mallorca in the semifinals of the Spanish Supercopa brought with it some doubts. The most important have been the situation with some players who ended up injured. Despite this, both Bellingham and Valverde are doubtful, the team will be able to count on one of its great stars again.

Luka Modric, who was absent due to a viral virus, will be able to play against Barcelona. Absent from the game against Mallorca due to a fever, the Croatian has managed to fully recover. To further ensure his presence, the player has opted to continue taking care of himself to arrive in the best possible condition for this game.

Aware of the importance of this game, Real Madrid only seeks victory against Barça. Being able to obtain the third title of the season, the team is focused on repeating the thrashing they gave to Barcelona last edition. 

Modric's return

Since 2012, Modric has been one of the most important players for Real Madrid. Having unparalleled ball control and excellent passing, the Croatian's presence remains essential for the team. Despite being 39 years old, the player continues to be a leader and pillar for the Meringue midfield.

With doubts about the condition of Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham, Modric's presence is now more important than ever. The Croatian will have the power to guide the team to the conquest of a new title for this season.

His quick recovery has shown that, despite his age, Luka Modric still has the strength to play for Real Madrid. Additionally, the extra care the player will take demonstrates his commitment to arriving in the best possible condition for this match.

An essential player

Being probably Modric's last season at Real Madrid, this match is even more special. After more than a decade defending the team, Modric continues to fight every match to achieve another victory and bid farewell in the best way to the team of his life.
