A Setback for Los Blancos: Dani Ceballos Injured in Cup Match
On Wednesday, February 26, Real Madrid traveled for the Copa del Rey semifinal match. Despite securing a victory, there are some unwelcome news for the visitors.
Details: Midfielder Dani Ceballos sustained an injury during the game and will undergo medical examinations on Thursday, February 27. Journalist Edu Aguirre reported that Real fears he might be sidelined for three to four weeks.
Notably, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal, Andriy Lunin equaled a Real Madrid record in this tournament.
Interestingly, in this match, Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior led the team onto the field with the captain's armband for the first time in his Real Madrid career.
Reminder: Prior to this game, the "Royal Club" had lost their last four away matches against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey, scoring only one goal during that period. This streak has now been broken.
In another semifinal, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid drew 4-4 yesterday.
