It was confirmed that 6 Real Madrid players were absent from the friendly tour of America in preparation for the new season due to them and their teams reaching the semi-finals of Euro 2024.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti had decided not to take any player who would play in the Euro semi-finals to America, in order to give the players the necessary rest before the long and intense season.
It was confirmed that the teams of Spain, France and England had reached the semi-finals of the Euro, and thus it was confirmed that 6 names were absent from the round, which usually witnesses major confrontations, but in a friendly, non-competitive framework.
Real Madrid in America will lose its new star, whom everyone wants to see in the white shirt, Kylian Mbappe, Aurelien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga and Ferland Mendy from the French national team.
As for the England national team, Jude Bellingham will not join the Madrid tour in America, along with Dani Carvajal, who is very impressive with the Spanish national team.
This list will be increased by another player, Fede Valverde, after Uruguay reaches the Copa America semi-finals, and Ancelotti’s same decision regarding the Euro applies to it.
But the trio participating with Brazil, Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo and Endric, will return to Madrid and will travel with the delegation heading to America after bidding farewell to Copa America in the quarter-finals.
The absence of these 7 players is not expected to affect their possibility of participating in the European Super Cup against Atalanta on August 17, or the first round of the Spanish League a few days later.
It remains to be noted that the next season for Real Madrid will be very long, as in addition to participating in the League, Cup, Champions League, European Super Cup and the local Super Cup, the Royal Club will participate in the Intercontinental Cup match, in addition to participating next summer in the Club World Cup in its new form in America.
