Fede Valverde suffers heavy knock from Villarreal player – immediately asks Ancelotti to sub him off
Federico Valverde had to ask Carlo Ancelotti for a substitution in the 83rd minute against Villarreal after taking a painful knock from Alfonso Pedraza.
The defender clattered straight into his knees, leaving the Uruguayan unable to continue.
And now, in this condition, the Real Madrid midfielder heading off for international duty, where he’s set to face Argentina and Bolivia.
Let’s just hope Marcelo Bielsa shows him some mercy — Fede needs some serious rest.
