Official: Real Madrid star returns as Blancos name squad to face AC Milan

The squad of players set to be depended upon by Carlo Ancelotti and his Real Madrid coaching staff to get the better of Italian giants AC Milan has on Monday afternoon been unveiled.

And it features two alogether noteworthy inclusions.

The first comes in the form of Antonio Rüdiger, who has shaken off a fitness problem suffered against Barcelona to take his place in Real’s setup for Tuesday.

Even more significant, though, is the return of frontman Rodrygo.

Brazilian international Rodrygo missed El Clásico entirely, owing to a hamstring injury picked up en route to Los Blancos’ Champions League downing of Borussia Dortmund last month.

The 23-year-old, though, has since been given the medical green light, to take his place back in boss Ancelotti’s matchday setup.

Missing out, on the other hand, as expected, are Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, and Dani Carvajal.
