Real Madrid Confidencial Three injured players return for Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso is already preparing the match against Juve
The key additions Xabi Alonso will have to face Juventus
The Club World Cup has been a tournament that has gone from less to more for Real Madrid. Starting with a draw against Al Hilal, the club managed to win its next two matches. As the undisputed group leader, Real Madrid is now in the decisive knockout stage, where its first opponent to overcome is Juventus of Turin.
For this important match, Xabi will have the presence of 3 players who missed the group stage due to injury. Dani Carvajal is one of the key players, with the team captain returning to training. After spending the last few months recovering from his knee injury, Carvajal is close to returning to the field.
The other two surprises for Xabi Alonso are Eder Militao and Eduardo Camavinga, who were out for a long time. The Brazilian's return ensures that Xabi has a complete backline, while Camavinga ensures the same in midfield.
The end of injuries
One of the most recurring problems for Real Madrid during the season was injuries. With almost the entire squad suffering some type of injury, Real Madrid was never able to have all its players available. This situation left both Ancelotti and Xabi in an uncomfortable position when planning matches.
Although Real Madrid's last match caused a lot of confidence in the team, the return of the aforementioned players has been a joy for Xabi. Even though it hasn't been revealed whether any of them will get playing time, Xabi has a more complete squad.
In addition to all this, Kylian Mbappé has also been one of the players who has returned to Real Madrid's training sessions. After missing the group stage due to gastroenteritis, Mbappé managed to overcome this illness to play in the round of 16.
The beginning of the real World Cup
This coming Tuesday, July 1, Real Madrid will attend the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami to face Juventus of Turin. This is a match where Real Madrid is the clear favorite, as it showed during the group stage that it is the best-prepared team in the tournament.
