Real Madrid faced another series of losses this week ahead of a crucial test. It's almost certain that defender Raul Asensio won't play in the match against Girona due to a viral infection. This could seriously affect Xabi Alonso's structural plans.
Several other leading players of the team also did not participate in yesterday's training sessions. David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, and young defender Dean Heisen were not seen in the general program - which means their condition is not yet at the expected level.
At the same time, there's good news for the fans: Eder Militao has returned to the field after an injury and played with the team, albeit in a restricted mode, in the last two training sessions. If all indicators are positive, it can be included in the list.
Xabi Alonso can also rely on Thibaut Courtois, who missed the dramatic Champions League match against Olympiacos due to illness. The Belgian keeper's condition has improved, and he is expected to help the team in the match against Girona.
Additionally, Antonio Rüdiger and young midfielder Franco Mastantuono could be included in the roster. However, their full participation in the game is still unknown. Despite recovering from injury, they managed to participate fully in only a few training sessions with the team.
Real Madrid is undergoing a serious squad test ahead of an important upcoming match. Now, what decision Xabi Alonso will make and which players he will field in the starting lineup will be the main intrigue for the fans.
