Surprise: Xabi Alonso has chosen when he will return to Madrid after the friendly in Austria

Real Madrid will play a friendly in Austria against Tirol this Tuesday, where Xabi will try new things. This is the second match, the first one we will be able to watch after playing another behind closed doors against Leganés. Therefore, fans want to see if the work is paying off.

But the truth is that Xabi still has a lot to do, something he knows himself and that's why he has made a decision. Real Madrid will travel to Austria on the same day as the match. They will spend just a few hours there before facing Tirol at 7:00 p.m.

He doesn't want to waste much time on the return either, since it will take place that same night. The Madridists won't even spend 24 hours in Austria by decision of Xabi Alonso. Above all, because there's no time to lose with a preseason that's going to be very short thanks to Tebas.

15 days will pass from the time Real Madrid returned to training until the league debut. The president of LaLiga didn't want to postpone the match against Osasuna even though the Rojillos were in favor. This has left very little time for the Madridists to rest and prepare.

Xabi Alonso will have several absences against Tirol

The whole team won't travel, since Xabi Alonso has some absences for the match against Tirol. We already knew that Bellingham, Mendy, and Endrick wouldn't be available for that match. They are still recovering from their injuries and except for the Frenchman, the other two still have weeks ahead of them.

In addition, in recent days some players have had more physical problems. Camavinga will also be out after suffering an ankle sprain. It won't be long-term but it will force him to be out for a few days,

Meanwhile, Fede Valverde hasn't been included in the squad for the match against Tirol. He is suffering from muscle overload and they didn't want to take risks with the Uruguayan. In his case, he is expected to be available for the league debut against Osasuna.
