Zidane begins to clear the unknowns that he had raised for the first leg of the semifinals against Chelsea. The first, that you can have your luxury midfield. Toni Kroos has overcome the muscular discomfort that separated him from the games against Getafe, Cádiz and Betis and is ready to be measured this Tuesday against the Blues. This Sunday the Teuton exercised normally in the penultimate training session before the duel against Chelsea of his compatriot Tuchel. You are physically ready for action.

The big question at this time for Zidane is Ferland Mendy, who has a difficult time arriving. He has not significantly improved from his muscle injury, in fact this Sunday he did not join the work with the group, and the Marseille coach himself covered his back testing against Betis the defense that is emerging as a starter against Chelsea, with Carvajal by From and Nacho moved to the left side, without counting on Marcelo who has become the third in contention. Zizou has the rear line covered after the hardships (due to injuries and the coronavirus) of the last month and looks up, where the goal has become a rare commodity.
But Kroos is the piece that most upset his intentions. Without the German he had to turn to the castillista Blanco in Cádiz and although the youth squad fully complied, the Casemiro-Kroos-Modric triangle will play a role of utmost importance against the fierce midfield that Tuchel raises alternating with Jorginho, Kovacic and Kanté.
