A lot has been said about the ‘FIFA Virus’ and currently Real Madrid seems to be the club being greatly affected because of the injuries, but Casillas thinks that all these injuries will allow younger players to grow.
The FIFA Virus, this time, has affected Real Madrid the most. The Spanish champions have lost a lot of players during the most recent international break and Jose Mourinho will have to go through a lot of selection crises as his side will face Celta Vigo
over the weekend.
The Spanish La Liga is going to kick off on the upcoming weekend and Real Madrid will be missing a lot of their defensive players as they have all been injured during the international break.
Jose Mourinho will be playing without http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554.
Three of the four mentioned players are full-backs and the Portuguese mentor will definitely find it difficult to replace such extraordinary players.
With Fabio Coentrao and Marcelo, both, injured, it means that the Spanish champions will be without both their strong left-backs.
Alvaro Arbeloa is also injured, so the fans might see http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 Albiol slotting in at the centre of defence.
However, while many consider that Real Madrid are in all sorts of problems, their captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815, thinks otherwise as he believes that this will allow the younger players to grow.
While speaking about how Real Madrid will cope without their first-team defensive players, Iker Casillas showed faith in his team’s coach and youth players and said:
“We have enough options to cover for our injured players.”
“What has happened because of the [so-called] FIFA Virus is that we now have reserves who are capable of playing in the first team. Mourinho knows all about them and will look for the best solutions for the Celta match.”
Real Madrid must win the game against Celta Vigo in order to keep the Spanish La Liga title race alive, as they are currently eight points behind both their rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Atletico Madrid.
However, it is definitely going to be difficult as Los Blancos are without four of their defensive players.
