The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to d all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Ezek, Valyrian Steel,
Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Felipejack.
Mbappe
There was report that Mbappe was doubtful due, again, knee discomfort. But Arbeloa confirmed today he is fine and available for the game — in other words, he will start.
Jude
Jude Bellingham injury is worse than previously believed. He is expected to be out until April.
David Jimenez
Apparently, David Jimenez (RB who started last game vs Valencia) returned to Castilla and this happened after Arbeloa and Carvajal talked. It’s expected that Carvajal starts tomorrow’s game. But Arbeloa commented about Carva being unhappy with his lack of playing time:
It’s natural for a player to feel dissatisfied if he doesn’t get the playing time he wants. Every player strives to feel important.” They joining Real Madrid is proof of their importance, and that’s the foundation. I encourage everyone to work hard, and if you’re not satisfied, you can sit on the’ bench. But the team’s interests come before the player’s interests.
Real Sociedad
They are in a good form, they are with no defeats in the past 11 games.
Upamecano extends his contract
Dayot Upamecano has been linked to Real Madrid, but he extended his contract with Bayern until 2030. Therefore, he won’t be a Real Madrid player anytime soon.
