Real Madrid Confidencial The dream signing for the midfield is now a reality, Xabi Alonso celebrates it
Xabi receives an unexpected joy; he will even be able to participate in the Club World Cup
Real Madrid is trying to secure the squad ahead of the Club World Cup this summer. They have already confirmed some signings while others are on track for the coming days. However, Xabi Alonso can celebrate one more reinforcement for the midfield.
The medical room is starting to clear out as some players are gradually recovering. The one who has delivered the big surprise is Eduardo Camavinga, who is making progress toward his recovery. In fact, it seems it will be much earlier than expected, and he could be available for the Club World Cup.
Real Madrid had a long list of absences to face the last title of the season. In fact, Camavinga's was one of those considered almost certain in the squad. However, the latest news has brought joy to the Madridists.
The Frenchman's return will mean having one more option for the midfield ahead of the Club World Cup. We don't know if Mastantuono will finally be able to be part of the squad with Real Madrid. However, Camavinga could be available, at least to get some minutes off the bench.
Xabi Alonso's plans with the injured players during the Club World Cup
Xabi Alonso knows he could count on Camavinga, although it's not fully guaranteed yet. He will have the coming week to start assessing his situation during training sessions at Valdebebas. It will be the first contact the coach from Tolosa has with the squad.
However, he won't have much time since Real Madrid debuts in the World Cup on June 18. That's why he wants to see how the injured players are doing to know if he can count on them. Especially Carvajal and Militao, although he may have already made his decision.
For the long-term injured players, he will take them to the World Cup and they will be in training with their teammates. However, his idea is for them not to get any minutes, since they don't want to take risks. They will lack match fitness and will use the opportunity to regain it ahead of next season, which is the goal they've set.
