Excellent news for Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid fans ahead of the match against Girona FC on Saturday.
After the painful trip to San Mamés last Wednesday, Real Madrid will this time travel to the Montilivi Municipal Stadium to challenge Girona FC in the 16e La Liga day, Saturday evening (9 p.m.). On the eve of this meeting, the Merengue received two good news that no one imagined.
Alaba and Vinicius are back!
Since the start of the season, Real Madrid has been facing a major injury crisis with several of its important players going to the hospital. We can cite, among others, David Alaba, who has not played since December 2023, Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, who are injured this season and will not be back before the end of the current campaign. Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Junior are the latest two names to be added to the long list of injured players at the reigning Spanish and European champion club.
But two good news came this Friday. The injury crisis really seems to be at its conclusion at Real Madrid. Victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left leg at the end of last year, David Alaba took part in part of the collective training this Friday before Girona. But the versatile Austrian central defender is not the only one to make a comeback. Madrid fans can also look forward to the return of Vinicius Junior, who is expected to miss three to four weeks of competition due to his biceps femoris injury in his left leg. The Brazilian also took part in part of the collective session this Friday. He feels more ready than ever to play again. Excellent news for the Merengue a few days before the trip to Italy to challenge Atalanta Bergamo.
