This seems to be reported by a few other sources?

Its a marca report that others are reprinting basically. And Marca isn't really a reliable source.
And not only is it Marca, its renowned bullshitter Jose Felix dias, the man who consistently pulls news out of thin air, conveniently on slow news day somehow.
The other websites are agreggators, they don't source their stuff just rewrite what as or Marca etc write.
Noted, I'm not a Madrid expert, I'll edit the title
For Madrid the 4 absolute certain journos are Mario Cortegana, Jose Luis Sanchez, Melchor Ruiz and Arancha Rodriguez (she rarely publishes but what she says comes straight from the mouth of Perez)
And Fabrizio by the time he picks smth. Actually theres a few international journalists whocare decent but ofc they post the big news and well after its happened. Ornstein etc.
PS. This still isn't necessarily untrue. JFD can get stuff right too. And this article says so much and mentions so many players that I'm second guessing myself now. But also with our team depth I don't see how he can't be in the plans. (Also the article doesn't say he isn't in the plans but that he'll have to fight for his minutes, which is meaninglessly vague)
