Fede Valverde spoke in the mixed zone after the match against Real Sociedad, where he was asked about an unprecedented bandage on his right hand.

He confirmed the worst: "I played with a fracture. I fractured it in training. I went to grab another player and my hand got caught. It hurts but I can play."

It is a familiar image that Madridistas have already seen in one of their idols, Karim Benzema. The Frenchman played several seasons with a bandage that was already iconic for the former captain. His fracture in one of his fingers forced him to play bandaged, and now Fede Valverde repeats his kit with a goal included. Although if it becomes worse, the Uruguayan could undergo a surgery and leave the team without one of the key figures.
