Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti received positive news during a tough spell for the team, with one of his players cleared to return to action just in time for Sunday evening’s La Liga showdown against Getafe.
The update revolves around Brazilian forward Rodrygo Goes, who rejoined Real Madrid’s training session on Friday, confirming his readiness to return to action.
Rodrygo has fully recovered from the muscle injury he sustained during the Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.
Real Madrid confirmed that Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, Brahim Diaz, and Rodrygo Goes are fit and ready to feature in their upcoming La Liga clash against Getafe at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday. This comes after the quartet enjoyed a day of rest following the intense Champions League encounter with Liverpool earlier this week.
Positive Updates for the Squad
Medical assessments conducted on Friday at the Valdebebas training complex revealed no lingering issues for Mbappé, Bellingham, or Diaz, despite concerns after the Liverpool match, which ended in a 2-0 loss. Additionally, Rodrygo has rejoined the squad after recovering from a muscle injury and is expected to be part of the matchday lineup.
Injury Concerns Persist
However, the team remains without several key players. French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni remains unavailable after failing to return to full training, joining a lengthy injury list that includes Eduardo Camavinga, David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, and Vinicius Junior.
Title Race Update
Real Madrid currently sits second in the La Liga standings, trailing leaders Barcelona by four points, with one game in hand due to the postponed match against Valencia following the recent flood disaster.
