Today, Real Madrid continued their preparations for their La Liga match against UD Las Palmas, which will take place on Saturday. They did not have any midweek assignments.
Currently, the Merengues are in second place in La Liga, one point behind Girona, who are in first place. They will be eager to climb to the top of the standings with a victory.
Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, and David Alaba are the only players who are not participating in the game due to injuries. This is a positive development for Carlo Ancelotti and his team coming into the match. There are no new injuries that have been reported in the squad.
In the gym, Federico Valverde is back in action.
Federico Valverde, a key midfielder for the team, did not train with the rest of the squad on Wednesday, which led to the emergence of some concerns regarding him.
It was reported that the Uruguayan international was treating a minor hip issue and that he would be ready to play Las Palmas on Saturday. The match was scheduled to take place on Saturday.
In addition, it has been reported by Melchor Ruiz of COPE that Valverde has already resumed his participation in group training in the present day. The mainstay in the middle of the field is anticipated to be completely healthy and available for the match against Las Palmas.
Valverde an ever-present figure for Real Madrid
The player, who is 25 years old, is considered to be one of the most important players for Carlo Ancelotti. He has participated in all 30 matches that Real Madrid has played this season across all competitions, starting 27 of those matches.
On account of those appearances, he has not only scored one goal but also set up three others.
In spite of the fact that the manager has experimented with different combinations of his other midfielders, Valverde and Bellingham have remained in the lineup consistently. It would have been a blow to not have the Uruguayan player available, especially considering that the latter was suspended for the game against Las Palmas.
According to the current state of affairs, however, Valverde is healthy, has resumed his training, and is prepared to play Las Palmas away at Gran Canaria on Saturday.
