La Liga leaders Real Madrid could be boosted by the return to fitness of three defensive stars for their next outing.
This comes amid confirmation that all of Dean Huijsen, David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger are pushing for medical clearance to face Girona this weekend.
Real Madrid’s backline was of course the subject of widespread discussion once more on Wednesday evening.
As much came after injury woes, particularly at the heart of Xabi Alonso’s defence, continued to take their toll.
After making the trip to Athens to face Olympiacos in the Champions League, a heavily-altered back four conceded three times, with their blushes spared by the brilliance of Kylian Mbappé at the other end.
Alonso and his staff, in turn, will no doubt be delighted with the latest word stemming from the medical room at Valdebebas.
As per a report from Real Madrid insider Melchor Ruiz of COPE:
‘With 2 training sessions left and 3 days until the match against Girona, Huijsen and Rüdiger could return. Alaba (also) might have a chance of making it.’
