Federico Valverde will miss Sunday's LaLiga clash against Getafe after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

As a precautionary measure, the Uruguayan midfielder has been removed from Real Madrid's matchday squad and is currently self-isolating. 

Injuries and positive COVID-19 tests have forced Zinedine Zidane into including five Real Madrid Castilla players for Sunday's trip to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. 

Sergio Ramos finds himself back in the treatment room, while Raphael Varane has been ruled out after contracting Covid-19.

Dani Carvajal is another long-term injury victim, with Lucas Vazquez now out for the rest of the season after suffering knee ligament damage while providing cover at right-back.

Meanwhile, Ferland Mendy is also out after sustaining a calf injury.
