Real Madrid Confidencial They reveal whether Mbappé will play against Juve or not, Xabi Alonso's big question
Once he has overcome his illness, he could already be available this Tuesday
Little by little, Xabi Alonso has started to get injured players back such as Antonio Rüdiger. To face Juventus this Tuesday, we already know that Asensio will return after his injury. However, the big question is whether Mbappé will finally be available after his gastroenteritis.
This is Xabi Alonso's big question, and this very Monday we'll start to get answers when we learn the squad list. Until that moment arrives, journalist Miguel Ángel Díaz has already given a preview. He said that he will be present, at least on the bench.
"He will be available, for sure, he will get minutes, for sure, and we still need to know if he will be in the starting line-up," he said. It's important to keep in mind that he has been unable to train for more than a week. Perhaps it would not be wise to rush his return and risk a longer-term setback.
The ideal would be for him to get minutes in the second half to continue getting back into shape. Meanwhile, Gonzalo should be in the starting eleven again, as his performance at the World Cup has been very good. Two goals and one assist make it worth continuing to trust the homegrown Madridist.
Mbappé is the big news for Xabi Alonso ahead of the next match
We've already mentioned that Xabi Alonso has gotten Rüdiger back and he was even in the starting line-up against Salzburg. This was the first big news for the Basque coach, who could receive the second this Tuesday. Unless there is a surprise, Mbappé will be included in the squad to face Juventus.
He might not be the only one, since Militao, after many months, could also be on the bench. Real Madrid keep getting players back, with a play style that is increasingly convincing. In fact, Endrick traveled to the United States to train under the Basque coach.
The only negative note is the new injury suffered by David Alaba, which will keep him out for several weeks. Otherwise, the medical room is gradually emptying and Xabi is adding more players. With Mbappé, he will once again have a decisive player for any match, capable of carrying the team on his back.
