Real Madrid sees no relief after their razor-thin 1-0 victory against Union Berlin in the UEFA Champions League. The rivalry match against Atletico Madrid, which is just around the corner, will be their hardest test yet.
The one and only concern on the Real Madrid supporters’ thoughts before to the match is Vinicius Jr.’s health.Recent games have seen Los Blancos struggle in the final third, and the Brazilian’s injury has been a major factor in that.
Soon, a final choice will be made.
It was anticipated that the Selecao star would miss at least eight games for the squad after he hurt himself on the trip to Balaidos. However, positive news of his recuperation quickly started to flood the media, with several sources speculating that he would be able to play in the Madrid derby.
The Brazilian might now make a comeback for the encounter against Civitas Metropolitano, according to reports from Jose Luis Sanchez. Tomorrow, a final decision about Vini’s participation will be made. According to AS, a comeback versus Las Palmas seems probable.
Arda Guler is just short of being fully fit.
The report from AS adds an update on the situation of Arda Guler. The Turkish starlet was a hair’s breadth away from making his debut for Real Madrid in the preseason when a meniscal injury set him back and sent him under the blade.
Guler is likely to make his return against Las Palmas as well according to the Spanish outlet. Yet, it is likely that he will be slowly phased into the dynamics so as to prevent a relapse.
Having Dani Ceballos back fit and two more stars now closer than ever to returning, Carlo Ancelotti has reasons to be optimistic. Needless to say, there are exciting days ahead for Real Madrid.
