Good news for Alonso. Three Real Madrid players return from injury
Real Madrid are gearing up for a crucial away fixture in La Liga against Girona, and Xabi Alonso has received three positive updates regarding his squad. At the pre-match press conference, the head coach confirmed that Antonio Rüdiger, Éder Militão, and Franco Mastantuono are all available for selection again after recovering from injuries and will travel with the team for the match.
However, not everything is rosy. Dean Huijsen is still struggling with knee discomfort and has been ruled out of the game. Alonso hopes the defender will be fit in time for the clash with Athletic.
The coach also highlighted the progress of Raul Asensio, who could soon make his return, and praised Ferland Mendy, who started for the first time this season in the match against Olympiacos.
As a reminder, the Girona vs Real Madrid match will take place tomorrow, November 30. The opening whistle at Montilivi will sound at 21:00 Central European time.
