Trains with strap on right knee
Konate was spotted training with the team on Tuesday and wearing a strap on his right knee, according to Madrid Xtra.
Analysis: Konate had already been ruled out of Saturday's clash with Villarreal while working his way back from a knee injury, so his return to team training represents an encouraging step in his recovery. Real Madrid are thin at center back, with Dean Huijsen suspended and Eder Militao (hamstring) and Raul Asencio (lower leg) injured, making Konate's progress particularly important. Until he is back to full speed, Aurelien Tchouameni or Alvaro Carreras could be asked to provide emergency cover in central defense.
Set to miss Villarreal contest
Konate (knee) is out for the Oct. 10 match against Villarreal as he continues his recovery, according to Joel Del Rio of Marca.
Analysis: Konate was looking to be tending in the correct direction for Real Madrid's first match back from the break, but that has quickly changed, as it appears the center-back will now miss out. This leaves Real Madrid in a dire situation, as Dean Hujsen is suspended, while Eder Militao (hamstring) and Raul Asencio (lower leg) remain injured. The good news is that Konate is unlikely to miss too much more time, potentially returning after the one match out. Real Madrid will likely look to shift Aurlien Tchouameni or Denzel Dumfries to a more central role, with Alvaro Carreras having a slight chance of starting in Konate's place as well.
