Didac Aguirre The 3 players Xabi Alonso loses before the World Cup, they won't travel to the US
The significant absences Xabi Alonso will face ahead of the Club World Cup
The season may have ended for most teams, but for Real Madrid it's far from over. With the Club World Cup ahead, held in the United States, Real Madrid is preparing intensely for this tournament. By making several signings to have a solid squad, Real Madrid will have 3 key absences.
Vinícius Júnior, Arda Güler, and Andriy Lunin won't be able to attend Real Madrid's training sessions before the Club World Cup. This is because all three players will play matches for their respective national teams in the United States. In light of this, Xabi Alonso will have to start training sessions without three players who will be important for this Club World Cup.
Despite this bad news, the players will train with Real Madrid once the club arrives on American soil. Next Sunday, June 15, is the date when Xabi will finally have the full squad available for the desired and long-awaited World Cup.
Real Madrid's absences
After a season full of problems, Real Madrid have complete trust in achieving victory in the Club World Cup. With a few weeks of preparation before the tournament begins, Real Madrid is ready to start training sessions. However, the absences of Vinícius, Güler, and Lunin are significant given Xabi's plans.
At 24 years old, Vinícius is one of the most important players for Real Madrid, scoring 21 goals and providing 18 assists in a rather decent season. Meanwhile, Güler, only 20 years old, is expected to be a key player under Xabi's leadership.
Despite the lack of playing time during this season, Xabi has big plans for Güler's immense talent. Lunin, meanwhile, has shown that he's a goalkeeper with the level required for Real Madrid, being the perfect backup in case of a Courtois injury.
Xabi's situation
Although Xabi will have all three players for the World Cup, their absence from training sessions could be a problem. In addition to understanding Xabi's playing style, the overload of matches puts these three players at risk of suffering a serious injury.
