With the time it has taken Real Madrid to find a replacement for Carlos Henrique Casemiro ... and it seems that the alternative was already at home in the Madrid B team.
Castilla player Antonio Blanco continues to make merits to make the jump to the first team. He already trained for Zidane's men in preseason and trust was won.
Precisely the French manager, as the newspaper 'AS' notes, avoided the player leaving the past winter market. The CM could have gone out on loan to continue developing as a player.
And the also Spanish youth international, after playing 8 matches for Castilla, could make his first team debut in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
Madrid face Alcoyano, from the Segunda División B, so it seems more than likely that Zidane, after maintaining a set system, will opt to rotate at El Collao... and Antonio Blanco could start instead of Casemiro.
