Real Madrid officially announces the players drafted for the Club World Cup.

Throughout Wednesday afternoon, Real Madrid released the squad list for the Club World Cup to be held in the United States. Xabi Alonso has drafted a total of 34 footballers, including the entire first team—even those who are injured—and eleven reserve team players. Among the most notable names are Dani Carvajal and Éder Militao, who could return during the tournament after their long absences due to injury.

Real Madrid will train on Friday, June 13 at Valdebebas and will depart for the United States this coming Saturday, June 14. The team will be based in Miami, which will serve as their operations base until the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. Vinícius, Arda Güler, and Andriy Lunin will join later, as they are currently with their national teams.

Meanwhile, the only players ruled out for this event are Ferland Mendy and Endrick, who haven't been able to recover from their respective injuries.
