The international break has provided a much-needed respite for some of Real Madrid’s key players, allowing them to recover and prepare for the upcoming fixtures with greater calmness. Despite a challenging start to the season marked by injuries, Xabi Alonso has managed to keep his squad relatively intact compared to clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona, both of which have been heavily impacted by injuries.
While the treatment room at Real Madrid is never completely empty, it hasn’t reached a critical point either. Notably, Ferland Mendy remains unavailable for selection, and Endrick, who was sidelined for an extended period, is still awaiting his opportunity to shine. Additionally, Rüdiger is expected to be out until December due to his injury.
Positive News Ahead of El Clasico
The international break almost brought additional concerns for Madrid. However, the situation seems under control. Kylian Mbappé, who left the French national team camp early to rest his ankle, is set to feature against Getafe this weekend. Meanwhile, Franco Mastantuono, who experienced minor muscle fatigue, will also be available. Unfortunately, Dean Huijsen suffered an injury with the Spanish national team and will miss the upcoming matches. His return is anticipated either for the clash against Juventus or the highly anticipated El Clasico against FC Barcelona.
Reinforcements on the Horizon
Ahead of El Clasico, Real Madrid is hopeful of welcoming back two crucial players: Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dani Carvajal. According to reports from Mario Cortegana, there is optimism within the club regarding their availability for this pivotal match. Their return would significantly bolster Alonso’s options as he prepares his team for one of the most crucial fixtures of the season.
This period of recovery and potential reinforcements comes at a crucial time for Real Madrid as they seek to maintain their competitive edge in La Liga. With key players returning and others managing their injuries effectively, Xabi Alonso’s squad looks poised to tackle upcoming challenges head-on.
