Updates on the fitness of a number of members of Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid squad have been forthcoming this evening.
Real, of course, have endured nothing short of a nightmare on the injury front across the season to date.
Los Blancos have already lost all of Thibaut Courtois, Éder Militão and David Alaba to respective ACL ruptures.
Vinícius Júnior, Arda Güler, Dani Carvajal, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga and more, meanwhile, have also been forced into lengthy spells out of action.
So, ahead of their final fixture of the calendar year, against Alavés this weekend, what is the status of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad?
Well, as alluded to above, a series of updates have today come to the fore online.
Below, check out the latest fitness news from Valdebebas, courtesy of Goal’s Javier Birlanga, Relevo’s Jorge C Picón and Guillermo Rai of The Athletic:
